The past is already past.
Don’t try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don’t try to touch it.
From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don’t think about it
Beforehand.
Whatever comes to the eye,
Leave it be.
There are no commandments
To be kept;
There’s no filth to be cleansed.
With empty mind really
Penetrated, the dharmas
Have no life.
When you can be like this,
You’ve completed
The ultimate attainment.
If
you haven’t
attained the Way,
don’t admonish others.
Don’t waste time blaming
yourself, either. Just
attain the
Way.

Which
is more precious,
fame or health? Which is more
valuable, health or wealth?
Which is more harmful,
winning or
losing?
The more
excessive your love,
the greater your suffering.
The longer you hoard,
the heavier your
losses.
Knowing
what is enough is freedom.
Knowing when to stop is safety.
Practice these, and
you’ll endure.

Mentally repeat,
‘Let all beings be happy;
let all beings be peaceful; let all
beings be blissful.’ So do to the east,
south, north and west. The more you do
that the better you will feel yourself. You will
find at last that the easiest way to make ourselves
healthy is to see that others are healthy, and the
easiest way to make ourselves happy is to see
that others are happy. After doing that,
those who believe in God should pray—
not for money, not for health, nor
for heaven; pray for knowledge
and light; every other
prayer is selfish.
