The past is already past.
Don’t try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don’t try to touch it.
From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don’t think about it
Beforehand.
Whatever comes to the eye,
Leave it be.
There are no commandments
To be kept;
There’s no filth to be cleansed.
With empty mind really
Penetrated, the dharmas
Have no life.
When you can be like this,
You’ve completed
The ultimate attainment.
If
you haven’t
attained the Way,
don’t admonish others.
Don’t waste time blaming
yourself, either. Just
attain the
Way.

I always forget
how important the empty days are,
how important it may be sometimes not to
expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal.
The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche,
occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in
the changing light of a room, not try
to be or do anything.
One
must recognize the
source of one’s power in order to
maintain it. When your ego takes credit for
progress, misfortune follows. When you
acknowledge the help of the
Sage, good fortune
continues.
