The universal body
of reality is so subtle that you
do not hear it when you deliberately
listen for it, and you do not see it when you
look at it. As for the pure knowledge that
has no teacher, how can it be attained
by thought or study?

the canon is still full of old paper
it is not something you can attain by embellishment
The Canon is still full of old paper
seventeen-hundred tangled vines
who can see through the mess
one thought is still too many
Red Pine’s “The Zen Works of Stonehouse”
remain serene in the unity of things
The perfect Way’s like boundless space
Nothing lacking, nothing extra
It is because of choice
That its absolute truth is lost.
Don’t pursue externals;
Don’t dally in the interior void.
When the spirit remains serene
In the unity of things
Dualism vanishes by itself;
When that unity is not clear
There is loss in both directions.
let go of everything
touch nirvana right here and now
Want to
be happy? Forget
things. Never mind status.
Let go of the obsessions of the body
and the mind and the world.
Now you have everything
you need.
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.
cast aside all thoughts
enlightenment is not apart from the world
To be unstained
in all environments is called no-thought…
If you stop thinking of the myriad things, and cast aside
all thoughts, as soon as one instant of thought is
cut off, you enter another realm.
The Dharma of no-thought means:
even though you see all things, you do not
attach to them, but, always keeping your own nature
pure, cast the six thieves of the senses to
exit through the six gates.
Even though you are
in the midst of the six dusts,
you do not stand apart from them,
yet are not stained by them, and
are free to come and go.
