if I had a mountain i would sit straight
all day contemplating nothing
but the way the wind blows maybe even
not that maybe just sit there
breathing in the quiet heart
whatever that is

add to goodness from your own heart
Whenever we see
that goodness is lacking,
we may add to it from our own heart
and so complete the nobility of human nature.
This is done by patience, tolerance, kindness, forgiveness.
The lover of goodness loves every little sign of goodness.
He overlooks the faults and fills up the gaps by
pouring out love and supplying that
which is lacking. This is real
nobility of soul.
something most highly honored
In the world,
something is most highly
honored, and it is not power and position;
something is most highly valued, and it is not gold
and jade; something has the most longevity,
and it is not a lifetime of a
thousand years.
To return your heart to its
original nature is most
highly honored.
translated by John S. Major & Sarah A. Queen
the line separating good and evil
The line
separating good and evil
passes not through states, nor between
classes, nor between political parties either,
but right through every human heart,
through all human
hearts.
pass freely into complete realization
No teacher
or master is in possession of
your enlightenment. Ultimately only
you can free yourself. Just shed your delusions
like a sweaty shirt and slip into the stream of
zen and tao, empty minded, quiet hearted,
at rest in the midst of everything
and at peace with all
that occurs.
Polish yourself
on your own over and over
until you disappear, and you’ll wake up
right where you are. You’ll see straight
through the snares of the world and
pass freely into complete
realization.
