Find a micro-moment of happiness.
Enjoy spring flowers or favorite songs.
Have chocolate or tea. What matters
is your intention to be happy.

your hope lies in keeping silent
Do your work in the world,
but inwardly keep quiet. Then all will come to you.
Do not rely on your work for realization. It may profit others,
but not you. Your hope lies in keeping silent in your mind
and quiet in your heart. Realized people
are very quiet.
forget all worldly nonsense
Life is a dream,
the years pass by like flowing waters.
Glamour and glory are transient as autumn smoke;
what tragedy — for with the sun set deeply in the
west, still there are those lost among
paths of disillusionment.
Our heart
should be clear as ice.
Forget all the worldly nonsense.
Sit calmly, breathe quietly, heart bright
and spotless as an empty mirror.
This is the path to
the buddha’s
table.
become independent and free
from here you can teach yourself everything
Don’t try to
escape from the movements of the
world. Remain in the midst of everything,
focused into the empty space at the
center of your self.
Pouring your
whole being there without pause,
alert, quietly smiling, you detach from clamor
and chaos and become independent and
free. From here you can teach
yourself everything.
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.
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
