concentrate on your breathing
To Shine One Corner of the World
A student who
had just concluded a thirty-day
zazen retreat with two enthusiastic dharma pals
asked Suzuki Roshi how to maintain the
extraordinary state of mind
he’d attained.
“Concentrate on your
breathing and it will go away,”
Suzuki said.
freedom and quietude
The fun of roaming free
is endless, hard to exhaust. When tired
I sit on a mossy bank, unaware of the cold sun falling
in my love for the cool of the breeze in the pines. Deer descend
to drink of the valley streams; monkeys arrive to pick of
the mountain fruits. What I originally valued were
freedom and quietude; why should
I require that people
know of me?
the reward of the virtuous
Greed for
enlightenment and
immortality is no different
than greed for material wealth.
It is self-centered and dualistic, and
thus an obstacle to true attainment.
Therefore these states are never
achieved by those who covet
them; rather, they are
the reward of the
virtuous.
If you
wish to become
a divine immortal angel,
then restore the angelic qualities
of your being through virtue
and service.
This is the only
way to gain the attention
of the immortals who teach the
methods of energy enhancement
and integration that enable
one to reach the
divine realm.
These angelic
teachers cannot be sought out;
it is they who seek out the student.
When you succeed in connecting your
energy with the divine realm through
high awareness and the practice of
undiscriminating virtue, the
transmission of the
ultimate subtle
truths will
follow.
This is the path that all angels
take to the divine realm.

you’re not who you think you are
Gently I weep for my mind,
caught in its illusion of ownership.
Mind, you’re not who you think you are.
You’re dancing over a pit. Soon you’ll fall through,
and these things you’ve valued and collected will
be left behind. My sweet dear, do you
understand this, and if you do,
how does your food
taste?
