A horse strays
into a cave of lions. You move
deeper into your desire for sex, for art
and wealth. There will come a time when your
life is a blank, but has there ever really been a time
when human beings were not cared for? For thousands
of years we had no identity, yet we managed to arrive
in this amazing moment, this brightly conscious
lifespan. Who gave us such restlessness
to know and be?
Forget all ideas
of accomplishing something —
in your practice and everywhere
else. Everything is already
accomplished.
If this sounds
like a tricky idea to you,
the flaw is in your understanding
of reality, not in reality
itself.
Allowing nature
to manifest is the way
of the Way. By setting aside
our ambitions and leaving
the Way to the Way,
we perfect the
Way.

You
must constantly step
back from conventional perceptions and
worldly entanglements to move along on your own
and reflect with independent awareness. Cleanse and purify
your karma of mind, body, and mouth, sit upright
and investigate reality, until you arrive
at subtle insight and clear
liberation.
Right in your own life,
detach from conditioned views and cut off
sentiments. Stand like a wall a mile high…spend twenty
or thirty years doing dispassionate and tranquil meditation
work, sweeping away any conditioned knowledge and
interpretive understanding as soon as it arises,
and not letting the traces of the
sweeping itself remain
either.

Happy in the morning,
I open my cottage door; a clear breeze
blowing comes straight in. The first sun lights
the leafy trees, the shadows it casts are crystal clear.
Serene, in accord with my heart, everything merges
in one harmony. Gain and loss are not my
concern; this way is enough to
the end of my days.
