understand the open door


 

live close to

who you are and travel light

the magic turtle needs no food but air

be kind to fools and children      know your death

the grace of age    the trap of seeking pleasure

out of fear      take time to understand

the open door

 

oracle of the turtle

 
 

 

As you develop yourself you

will inevitably be misunderstood by others.

Endure these times patiently, and they will pass.

By staying on the path unswervingly you

meet with great success.

courage, virtue, emptiness

purify

 

It is foolish 

to think about attaining 

realization by any technique. 

Make habits of courage, virtue, 

and absolute emptiness, and 

simply realize what is 

already always 

present.

what do sad people have in common?

javier ideami

 

What do sad people

have in common? It seems they

have all built a shrine to the past and

often go there and do a strange

wail and worship.

 

What is the

beginning of happiness?

It is to stop being so

religious like

that.

the gift

 

 

In the ch’an perspective

wisdom is a state that is free from

attachments, free from measurement,

free from self-reference and

empty of vexation.

the universe is a harmonious oneness

embrace the oneness

 

Forget

about understanding and 

harmonizing and making all things one. 

The universe is already a harmonious 

oneness; just realize

that. 

 

If you 

scramble about in

search of inner peace, 

you will lose your 

inner peace.

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.
