All craving or hatred
is forgetfulness of life. When accumulated
illusions are not cleared up, they interfere with perception
of the Way. This is why we need to give up cravings and abide in
nothingness, so that we have a basis for gradual clarification.
If we look back at our former cravings after that,
then we will naturally find them
unappealing…
If you still the body and quiet
the mind, myriad illnesses
will all vanish.
Treatise on Sitting Forgetting
please sir may i have some more
The
entirety
of the Oneness is
contained within you.
Don’t believe it?
Go look.
The
senses can’t perceive it.
Thought fails to apprehend it.
Approach by sacrificing all knowing
and doing, though, and it
envelops you.
Marry
mind to breath and
look within until all false
concepts and imaginings
come to an end. This
is the center of
the Way.

Yantou said,
“Abandoning things is superior,
pursuing things is inferior.” If your own state
is empty and tranquil, perfectly illuminated and silently
shining, then you will be able to confront whatever circumstances
impinge on you with the indestructible sword of wisdom and cut
everything off — everything from the myriad entangling objects
to the verbal teachings of the past and present. Then your
awesome, chilling spirit cuts off everything, and
everything retreats of itself without having
to be pushed away. Isn’t this what it
means to be well endowed and
have plenty to spare?
…The Ultimate Path is
simple and easy — it is just a matter of
whether you abandon things or pursue them.
Those who would experience the Path
should think deeply
on this.
It is not
our responsibility to
control or direct others.
Allow them their own path,
and keep to yours. If the
paths meet, fine. If
they do not,
also fine.
