Why
wait around for
a teacher? Pick up a staff
and knock the sense out of
yourself, so you can
enter eternity.
The ancestors
are everywhere around you,
offering the silent light of truth.
Put down what you’re doing with
your mind and pick up that up.
Do non-doing, and you’ll
inherit the whole
universe.

Before the night
is even through, I rise and sit,
watching fireflies. The night air clear as
water, the meditating mind is light as a reed.
The moon outlines trees on the western ridge;
a bell arouses homes up above. There may
be those in the dark who know
just how fine is what
I have found.
Should you desire the great tranquility,
prepare to sweat white beads.
The soft
overcomes the hard in the
world as a gentle rider controls
a galloping horse. That without
substance can penetrate where
there is no space. By these I
know the benefit of
non-action.
Teaching
without words,
working without effort —
nothing in the world
can compare with
them.
