If you can really
get to see your original Mind,
you must regard it as if you were raising
an infant. In whatever you do such as walking, standing,
sitting, lying down, be aware of Mind so that everything is illuminated
by it, so that nothing of the seven consciousnesses (vijnana) soils it.
If you can keep him [the new born Mind] clear and distinct,
it is like an infant growing up becoming
equal with the father.
When your tasks
are few, naturally your pains are few.
When your words are few, naturally your troubles
are few. When you eat little, naturally you get sick less.
When you have few desires in your heart,
naturally you have few
worries.
If you wish
to enjoy the fruits
of enlightenment, abandon
regard for the conventional and
the communal. The Way is a path
for one. Then it narrows
until there’s not even
space for you
anymore.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
book.
For one human being
to love another; that is perhaps
the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate,
the last test and proof, the work for which all other work
is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond
between two people: that each protects the solitude of the
other. This is the miracle that happens every time
to those who really love: the more
they give, the more they
possess.
When hate and
love don’t block the mind,
stretch out both legs and
then lie down.
If you hope and intend
to transform others, you must perfect
expedient means. Don’t cause them to have
doubts, and then their self-nature
will appear.
The Buddhadharma is
here in the world; enlightenment is
not apart from the world. To search for Bodhi
apart from the world is like looking for
a hare with horns.
Right views are
transcendental; deviant views
are all mundane. Deviant and right
completely destroyed: the
Bodhi nature appears
spontaneously.
This verse is
the Sudden Teaching, also called
the great dharma boat. Hear in confusion,
pass through ages, in an instant’s
space, enlightenment.
