As big as the UNIVERSE!
Well that's an easy question to answer! See little Bucky in the photo above. What you see is the Crab Nebula taken by the Hubble telescope. And there's Bucky riding on the edge of infinite space! How does he do it? He IS the infinite space of pure love!
Since love is what holds the whole universe together, it is actually the sea we are swimming around in. Since we are always in this love, we don't notice it until we try to separate out of it. For example, if something happens that is unpleasant in your view, you usually try to avoid it, replace it, or negate it. This resistance to it IS suffering. What's true is, LOVE is everything! It's not in some things and not other things. The Pinnacle teachings of Buddhism talk about our body being the Complete Pleasure body! That means everything, no exception, is for us to experience as bliss! But in our attempt to separate from the "unpleasantness", we miss the LOVE. And the universe just keeps on giving LOVE! It can't NOT give love... because it IS LOVE!
And that's true for all of us! Just like a little squirrel, we are LOVE!
Our true nature is LOVE!
Intellect, mind and mental appearances
have this very nature.
All the worlds appearing in their diversity
have this very nature.
All the varieties of the seen and the seer
have this very nature.
Attachment, desire, aversion and bodichitta
too, have this very nature.
