Life is a dream,
the years pass by like flowing waters.
Glamour and glory are transient as autumn smoke;
what tragedy — for with the sun set deeply in the
west, still there are those lost among
paths of disillusionment.
Our heart
should be clear as ice.
Forget all the worldly nonsense.
Sit calmly, breathe quietly, heart bright
and spotless as an empty mirror.
This is the path to
the buddha’s
table.
Polish what you polish
until it is like gold that has been refined
a hundred times; anything that is done in a hurry
is not deeply developed. Do what you do like
a thousand pound catapult; one who
pops off too easily does not
much.
Your
spiritual light
can be compressed into
a pinpoint, or it can flood and
wash the known and unknown universe.
The principal task of a master is to respect
the oneness of her spiritual light with
all spiritual light and to care for
it accordingly.
Where is
the best place to do this?
In quiet simplicity.
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.

You
must constantly step
back from conventional perceptions and
worldly entanglements to move along on your own
and reflect with independent awareness. Cleanse and purify
your karma of mind, body, and mouth, sit upright
and investigate reality, until you arrive
at subtle insight and clear
liberation.
Right in your own life,
detach from conditioned views and cut off
sentiments. Stand like a wall a mile high…spend twenty
or thirty years doing dispassionate and tranquil meditation
work, sweeping away any conditioned knowledge and
interpretive understanding as soon as it arises,
and not letting the traces of the
sweeping itself remain
either.
