being is born of emptiness

there isn’t any need

 

Returning to the root is

the movement of tao.

Quietness is how

it functions.

 

The ten thousand things 

are born of being.

Being is born of

emptiness.

dissolve all ideas of duality

support sheldrick wildlife trust

 

The teaching

of the Integral Way will go on

as long as there is a tao and someone who

wishes to embody it; what is painted in

these scrolls today will appear in

different forms in many

generations to

come. 

 

These things,

however, will never change:

Those who wish to attain oneness must

practice undiscriminating virtue. They must

dissolve all ideas of duality: good and bad, beautiful

and ugly, high and low. They will be obliged to abandon

any mental bias born of cultural or religious belief.

Indeed, they should hold their minds free

of any thought which interferes with

their understanding of the

universe as a harmonious

oneness. 

 

The

beginning

of these practices is

the  beginning of

liberation.

we all have the clear bright field

a patched-robe monk

 

Emptiness is without characteristics.

Illumination has no emotional afflictions.

With piercing, quietly profound radiance,

it mysteriously eliminates all disgrace.

Thus one can know oneself; thus

the self is completed.

 

We all have the clear,

wondrously bright field from the beginning.

Many lifetimes of misunderstanding come only from

distrust, hindrance, and screens of confusion that we create

in a scenario of isolation. With boundless wisdom

journey beyond this, forgetting

accomplishments.

 

Straightforwardly abandon stratagems

and take on responsibility. Having turned yourself around,

accepting your situation, if you set foot on the path, spiritual energy

will marvelously transport you. Contact phenomena with

total sincerity, not a single atom of dust

outside yourself.
