The ways of the world
are uncertain, and a single thought of
seeking to have everything leads to myriad
complications. If you make yourself
comfortable wherever you
happen to be, you can
go anywhere.

The
present moment
is the source of everything.
As long as you have resentments
about the past or ideas about
the future, you cannot
genuinely be in
the present.
You owe it
to your future self,
and to the rest of us, to be
completely absorbed here and
now. Make all notions of past
and future a cool pile
of ashes in the
corner.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
book.
Zen is not
some kind of excitement,
but concentration on our usual
everyday routine.
When
machinations cease,
then the moon is there and the
breeze comes; so one needn’t experience
the world as an ocean of misery. When
the mind is aloof, there are no dust
and tracks from the rat race;
so why get addicted to
mountains?
