Old master Zufeng used to
say, “Even Shakyamuni Buddha and
Maitreya Buddha are His servants.
Ultimately, who is He?”
How can this admit
of arbitrary and confused probing?
You will only get anywhere if
you know He exists.

the perfect means of achieving freedom
Without thought,
without mind, without self,
there is only freedom. The direct,
reliable, and perfect means of
achieving this is to become
wholly absorbed in
the breath.

pray for knowledge and light
Mentally repeat,
‘Let all beings be happy;
let all beings be peaceful; let all
beings be blissful.’ So do to the east,
south, north and west. The more you do
that the better you will feel yourself. You will
find at last that the easiest way to make ourselves
healthy is to see that others are healthy, and the
easiest way to make ourselves happy is to see
that others are happy. After doing that,
those who believe in God should pray—
not for money, not for health, nor
for heaven; pray for knowledge
and light; every other
prayer is selfish.
simply release your grasp
Simply
release your grasp
on worldly entanglements,
and realization is right
where you

it’s simple to become a sage
It’s simple
to become a sage: all
that’s required is to burn up,
die, and cool into
ashes.
Rise early,
then, and set fire to
all you think and feel and
believe. Look beyond the smoke
of that pit into what is left:
emptiness filled with
emptiness.
Breathe it in.
Pour it out. Circulating
the Oneness without stopping,
endlessly renewing your determination,
working steadily day after day and
year upon year, you’ll find
yourself alert, rested,
illuminated.
