oneness with tao is your true nature

tinyao yang

 

Work toward 

emptiness and openness. 

Cultivate stillness. Breathe harmony. 

Become tranquility. As the ten thousand

things rise and fall, rise and fall, 

just witness their return

to the root.

 

Everything

that flourishes dissolves

again into the source. To dissolve

back into the source is to find peace. 

To find peace is to recover your true nature. 

To recover your true nature is to know

the constancy of Tao. To know

the constancy of Tao

is insight. 

 

Insight opens

your mind. An open

mind leads to an open heart. 

Open heartedness leads to justice. 

Justice is an expression of

divinity. Divinity is 

oneness with

Tao. 

 

Oneness

with Tao is freedom

from harm, indescribable

pleasure, eternal

life.

freedom and quietude

just be still

 

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 myriad things are peaceful

Haven’t you

read the ancient worthy’s saying?

“The white clouds are clear and still, and the rivers

flow into the blue sea. The myriad things are

originally peaceful, but people

make trouble for

themselves.”

 

After all,

this statement is completely

accurate and true. If you know what it means

as soon as you hear it mentioned, you can use it to pass

through birth and death to freedom and no longer be obstructed

by the psycho-physical nexus. You will be like a bird getting

out of a cage — independent and free. With a single

stroke you put a stop to all other actions and

talk, and you no longer fall into

secondary views.
