There
is nothing that
is impure, nothing in need of
elimination, no place to go, not a thing to
obtain. Shed the duality that you are a seeker
in search of some attainment. Just be
as you are, without attachment
to anything, anyone,
any state, any
ideal.

An unspectacular life
may be a garden rich in delight,
in queer paths, perfumed herbs, and
marble cloisters. “I live a life of no major
accomplishments,” said the oldest man
alive. High living is ephemeral, quick
to change; the light soon dims
among tower peaks.
illuminate your own buddha nature from within
Do you find
your spiritual practice
pitiful and wanting? If buddha
were before you, would you
be ashamed, afraid,
shy, small?
Wake up!
The truth too large
for words is that the buddha
is closer to you than that:
you are the buddha
now.
This entire world is
just for you. All the teaching in this
world is only for you. Accept this without
further thought of whether you are good or bad
and be responsible to it. This is the spirit you
must bring to everything that you do.
Be the buddha now.

Inside,
the strength of
simplicity and self-knowledge.
Outside, the beauty of
acceptance and
gentleness.
This hexagram encourages you to cultivate a quality of grace in your relationships and in your general way of being. In this way you gain a power greater than any other to open a way through obstructions in your dealings with others. Good fortune is yours if you concentrate on bringing more grace to your thoughts and actions now.
It is human nature to want to use forceful ways to try to get what we want from others and from life. Our egos encourage us to act aggressively, to speak boldly, to intimidate others, to “buffalo” our way through difficult situations. This false power can be momentarily satisfying to our ego, and temporary victories can be won in this way, but genuine power and lasting progress come from a different kind of strength altogether.
They come from inner strength, which is characterized by a steadfast devotion to the principles of humility, simplicity, equanimity, and acceptance. By gradually letting go of the vain, bullying energy of the ego and accepting the quiet guidance of the Higher Power, one acquires the substance that makes ongoing good fortune a possibility.
This is a time to relinquish self-important maneuvering. Instead, return to stillness and contemplate the inherent wisdom of the principles of the Sage. By practicing quiet strength within and gentle acceptance without, you acquire a grace that dissolves all barriers to progress.
