tao is like streams flowing to the sea

reality flows like pure water

 

The primal eternal Tao

is an unnameable simplicity.

Though small, there is nothing

under all of heaven that

can subjugate it.

 

If a leader abides by it,

all beings are naturally

drawn to him.

 

Heaven and

earth come together

in harmony and sweet rain falls

everywhere. People cooperate

voluntarily, without any

instruction.

 

Tao in the world

is like streams flowing

into the sea.

Chapter 32

concentrate on tao and experience tao

mike oblinski

 

Nature is

sparing with speech: a

whirlwind doesn’t last all morning;

a rain shower doesn’t

last all day.

 

What causes these?

Heaven and earth.

If heaven and earth can’t

make something furious

endure, how could

man?

 

Concentrate on tao

and you’ll experience tao.

Concentrate on power and

you’ll experience power. 

Concentrate on loss and

you’ll experience

loss.

 

If you won’t trust,

you won’t be

trusted.

maintain humility and equanimity


 

A goal may be reached

but only if one’s character is fully aligned

with proper principles. It is always more important

to maintain humility and equanimity than

to satisfy an ambition.

tao is the treasure of the world

you will often be thought crazy

 

Tao is the hidden

secret source of all life.

Good men recognize that tao provides

for them and therefore they esteem it.

Bad men don’t recognize this,

but the tao doesn’t stop

providing for

them.

 

Beautiful words

win some men honors;

good deeds buy others acclaim.

But the tao values everyone,

not just those who excel.

What’s the sense

in discarding

anyone?

 

Thus, on the day

a new king is crowned

or powerful ministers installed,

while others rush forward with gifts

and praises, just be still

and offer tao.

 

Why

have sages

prized tao for so long?

Because with tao, he who

seeks finds, and he who has

flaws is forgiven. This is

why it is the treasure

of the world.

Chapter 62

zen is a sword about to be drawn


 

This matter Zen

is like a great mass of fire:

when you approach it your face is sure

to be scorched. It is again like a sword about

to be drawn; when it is once out of the scabbard,

someone is sure to lose his life. The precious

vajra sword is right here and its purpose

is to cut off the head.

 

The body does not know

how to discourse or to listen to a discourse.

This which is unmistakably perceivable right where

you are, absolutely identifiable yet without

form, this is what listens to

the discourse.
