it cannot be attained by searching
This dharma
is such that it cannot be attained
by groping or searching about. In the realm
of seeing, knowledge perishes. At the
moment of attaining, mind
is surpassed.
perfection of character lies in this
Perfection of character
lies in this: to live each day as though
it were your last, without turmoil,
without listlessness, and
without pretense.
the first step on the road
Love is to see
what is good and beautiful in
everything. It is to learn from everything,
to see the gifts of God and the generosity
of God in everything. It is to
be thankful for all of
God’s bounties.
This is the first step
on the road to the love of God.
This is just a seed of love. In time,
the seed will grow and become a tree
and bear fruit. Then, whoever tastes of
that fruit will know what real love is.
It will be difficult for those who
have tasted to tell of it to
those who have not.
Reality
and the buddha dharma
are one and the
same.

and rely on your true voice,
your voiceless voice, your nonverbal voice.
“Listen to the tongueless teaching,”
we say, don’t listen to my words.
Think about this.
