Yongjia said,
“Without leaving wherever you are,
there is constant clarity.” No words come closer
to the truth than these. If you start seeking, then we know
that you are unable to see. Just cut off any duality between
“wherever you are” and “constant clarity,” and make
yourself peaceful and serene. Avoid concocting
intellectual understanding and seeking.
As soon as you seek, it is like
grasping at shadows.

if I had a mountain i would sit straight
all day contemplating nothing
but the way the wind blows maybe even
not that maybe just sit there
breathing in the quiet heart
whatever that is
Forget
about understanding and
harmonizing and making all things one.
The universe is already a harmonious
oneness; just realize
that.
If you
scramble about in
search of inner peace,
you will lose your
inner peace.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
book.
Fearful of death,
I walked in the mountains.
By meditating on its uncertain hour,
I conquered the immortal bastion
of the immutable. Now I am
far beyond fearing
death.

In the autumn of my sixty sixth year,
I’ve already lived a long time
The intense moonlight
Is bright upon my face.
There’s no need to discuss
The principles of koan study;
Just listen carefully to the wind
Outside the pines and cedars.
