great skill looks clumsy

kintsugi

The greatest

perfection seems imperfect,

yet its usefulness is endless. The greatest

fullness seems empty, yet its usefulness is inexhaustible.

Great straightness seems flexible. Great skill looks clumsy.

Great eloquence sounds awkward. Movement triumphs

over cold. Stillness triumphs over heat.

Clarity and tranquility set

the whole world

in order.

your heart clear as crystal

connie gifford

The speech of the birds

and the voices of the insects are all

the secret of transmitting mind; the brilliance

of the flowers and colors of the grasses

are all writings on seeing

the Way.

To learn, it is necessary

to have your higher potential clarified

thoroughly and your heart clear as crystal.

Then you will find understanding

of mind whatever you

encounter.

Huanchu Daoren

the path to the buddha’s table

ansel adams

Life is a dream,

the years pass by like flowing waters.

Glamour and glory are transient as autumn smoke;

what tragedy — for with the sun set deeply in the

west, still there are those lost among

paths of disillusionment.

Our heart

should be clear as ice.

Forget all the worldly nonsense.

Sit calmly, breathe quietly, heart bright

and spotless as an empty mirror.

This is the path to

the buddha’s

table.

Loy Ching-Yuen

the book of the heart

refine a hundred times

Polish what you polish

until it is like gold that has been refined

a hundred times; anything that is done in a hurry

is not deeply developed. Do what you do like

a thousand pound catapult; one who

pops off too easily does not

much.

Huanchu Daoren

your spiritual light

joel belmont

Your

spiritual light

can be compressed into

a pinpoint, or it can flood and

wash the known and unknown universe.

The principal task of a master is to respect

the oneness of her spiritual light with

all spiritual light and to care for

it accordingly.

Where is

the best place to do this?

In quiet simplicity.
