dissolve all ideas of duality

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.

A moment of kindness

can produce a mood of harmony

between heaven and earth. Purity of

heart can leave a fine example for

a hundred generations.

it is a dangerous hour

you are your own teacher

Darkness reappears unexpectedly.

Caution and reticence

are in order.

It is a dangerous hour. Through an eruption of our inferior nature darkness has interrupted the flow of light. The inferior can be quite seductive, and if we are not resolute in resisting it, the moment can be lost to misfortune.

In one’s self, this is a time to examine motives; those which are of questionable honor should be uprooted and discarded. Be wary of situations that engage your ego and tempt you into anger, self-righteousness, or desire. Actively employ your higher nature to test the correctness of tempting ideas and circumstances; that which seems to be suspicious almost certainly is.

In your conduct with others, practice modesty, independence, and patience with great discipline. Avoid anger or arrogance at all costs; withdraw whenever you cannot meet another in a balanced and independent way. Neither encourage another to forego his balance nor indulge him if he does so. Again, withdraw into stillness if the circumstances indicate the presence of inferior influences. Reticence and self-scrutiny are the order of the day.
