step back from conventional perceptions

demand justice for the beautiful soulful human that was tyre nichols

 

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.

happiness in the morning

khashif chaudhry

 

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.

 

Wen-siang

don’t grasp

Yung Sen Wu

 

In a pellucid ocean,


bubbles arise and dissolve again.


Just so,
 thoughts are no different
 from

ultimate reality,
 so don’t find fault;
 remain at ease.


Whatever arises,
whatever occurs,
 don’t grasp —

release it on the spot.
 Appearances, sounds,

and objects
 are all one’s own mind;


there’s nothing except

mind.

 

Buddha

go slowly, with balance

Avoid

attempting to force

a completion. Go slowly,

methodically, and with

quiet balance.
