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.
Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable.
Be joyful though you have considered
all the facts. So long as women do
not go cheap for power, please
women more than
men.
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.
Avoid
attempting to force
a completion. Go slowly,
methodically, and with
quiet balance.

If
a person
overlooks the faults
of others, and sees only their merits,
and thus keeps his mind serene, his whole life
will be happy. To be unconcerned in all
things, with the mind cool, free of
desires and without hate,
is beautiful in a
seeker.
