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.

True words aren’t
elaborate. Elaborate words aren’t true.
Good people don’t argue. People who argue
aren’t good. People who know aren’t
full of facts. People who are full
of facts don’t know.
The sage doesn’t hoard.
She increases her treasure by
working for her fellow human beings.
She increases her abundance
by giving herself to them.
The way of heaven:
benefit all, harm none.
The way of the sage: work
for all, contend
with none.

Time is very precious:
every minute, every hour counts.
We don’t want to throw time away. We want
to make good use of the minutes and hours we have left.
When we focus our attention in the here and now and live
simply, we have more time to do the things we think
are important. We don’t waste our energy in
thinking, in worrying, in running
after fame, power,
and wealth.
