The essential thing
in studying the Way is to make
the roots deep and the stem strong.
Be aware of where you really are twenty-four
hours a day. You must be most attentive. When nothing
at all gets on your mind, it all merges harmoniously,
without boundaries — the whole thing is empty
and still, and there is no more doubt or
hesitation in anything you do. This is
called the fundamental matter
appearing ready-made.

The highest good is
like water, which benefits all things
and contends with none. It flows in low
places that others disdain, and
thus it is close to
the Tao.
In living, choose your ground well.
In thought, stay deep in the heart.
In relationships, be generous.
In speaking, hold to the truth.
In leadership, be organized.
In work, do your best.
In action, be timely.
If you
compete with no one,
no one can compete
with you.

Beyond
our occupation,
each of us has a vocation,
a calling toward sacred service.
This calling may be understood as our
life’s purpose, our personal contribution to
the transformation of the world. Spiritual chivalry
is the cultivation of our capacity to answer the call.
It is to swear oneself body, heart, and soul to the
ideals of truth, justice, peace, and beauty,
and thus sworn, to go forth
into the battle
of life.
Be the same
all the way through:
quiet, still, at home. In the
absence of mind, all phenomena
can be seen for what they
are — empty. This is
freedom.

Do not allow
someone else’s choices to ruin
your waking hours or interrupt your sleep.
The only words and actions you can control
are your own, so focus on your own
integrity, generosity, honesty.
Rise above.
