sitting on the mountaintop
'Taken purely for recreation, psychedelics can be very dangerous. But with the proper context and support, they can provide the user with a concrete, physical experience that relates to many of the philosophical abstractions of Buddhism - as in all things: the middle way. So as I sat there on the mountaintop, I thought of the buddhas and bodhisattvas, and visualized myself standing before Amithaba Buddha, shining brilliant red, surrounded by a vast retinue of deities, floating radiantly on lotos-borne clouds. In the clear blue sky above, with its impossibly white puffs of cloud, and with the peyote juice in my veins, the visualization leapt to life. I offered up the whole universe to that gathering of deities: the endless pine forests, the granite peaks, the clear mountain rivers, the noisy flocks of birds, and the golden herds of elk - all present there, as my offering mandala. I asked for guidance in my life, for clarity in my path and for a better understanding of my own true nature. I asked that I might use the lessons of that afternoon to better help all sentient beings be free of suffering. And I thanked that splendid gathering for all the gifts I had received throughout my life. Then, in keeping with the basics of Tibetan visualization practice, I allowed the image to dissolve, to be scattered across the world by the clear mountain wind. I visualized the light of those buddhas and bodhisattvas spreading far from that mountain peak and touching all sentient beings. I knew in that moment that this life is as intangible as a wisp of mountain cloud.' (Josh Schrei 'A Peak Experience' in 'Tricycle') |
