just don’t seek from another

his imaginary holiness the flying spaghetti monster

 

Just don’t seek from another

Or you’ll be far estranged from the Way.

I now go on alone

Meeting it everywhere

It now is just what I am

I now am one with it.

You must comprehend in this way

To merge with thusness.

 

 

Students as numerous as

sands in the Ganges but none are awakened.

They err by searching for the path in another person’s mouth.

If you wish to forget form and not leave any traces,

wholeheartedly strive to walk

in emptiness.
