dissolve all ideas into the tao
Good
and bad, self
and others, life and death:
Why affirm these concepts? Why
deny them? To do either is to exercise
the mind, and the integral being knows
that the manipulations of the mind
are dreams, delusions, and
shadows.
Hold
one idea, and
another competes with it.
Soon the two will be in conflict
with a third, and in time your
life is all chatter and
contradiction.
Seek
instead to keep
your mind undivided.
Dissolve all ideas
into the
tao.

we all have the clear bright field
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.
neither pursuing nor avoiding things
Your peace of mind
is disturbed by the pursuit or avoidance
of things, but these things don’t force themselves on you;
in a sense, you force yourself on them. At any rate, if your faculty
of judgment doesn’t trouble itself with them, they too
will remain inert, and evidently you’ll
be neither pursuing nor
avoiding them.
a moment of kindness
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.
