What’s
the need to bow
and pray, to beg for long life?
Clearly the original spirit is pure.
Shatter space to become free, and
wishing jewels and relics are
all empty names.

If you can just appreciate
each thing, one by one, then you will

do good for the sake of goodness
Three things in
human life are important:
the first is to be kind; the second
is to be kind; and the third
is to be kind.
This dharma
is such that it cannot be attained
by groping or searching about. In the realm
of seeing, knowledge perishes. At the
moment of attaining, mind
is surpassed.
Perfection of character
lies in this: to live each day as though
it were your last, without turmoil,
without listlessness, and
without pretense.
