cling to what is calm and good

disengage from negative feelings

 

Your ego

is unsatisfied with

the path of correctness.

However, to strive out of desire

or despair will bring misfortune.

Cling to what is calm and good

no matter what others do,

and allow the Creative

to work in its

own time.

friendship with elderly peasants

those who are like the spring breeze

 

Association with city people

is not as good as friendship with elderly

peasants. Calling on upper-class mansions is not

as good as getting to know peasant homes. Listening

to the talk of the streets and alleys is not as good as hearing

the songs of the woodcutters and shepherds. Talking

about the moral failures and professional blunders

of people today is not as good as retelling

the fine words and noble deeds

of people of old.

there isn’t any need to seek outside

buddha meditation

just attain the way

 

There

isn’t any need 

to seek outside yourself. 

Look inside, allow ideas and 

methods and ways of perceiving to

dissolve, and you will see that 

your original face and that 

of all the buddhas are 

one and the 

same.

do not waste even a moment of time

danielle sassoon’s american bravery

 

The days and months go by

like lightning: we should value the time.

We pass from life to death in the time it takes to breathe

in and breathe out: it’s hard to guarantee even a

morning and an evening.

 

Whether walking, standing,

sitting, or lying down, do not waste even

a moment of time. Become ever

braver and bolder.

 

Be like our

original teacher Shakyamuni,

who kept on progressing

energetically.
