It isn’t difficult to
become one with the Way.
How hard was it to be a baby?
But returning to innocence requires
intention. Drop your dark habits, your
ideas, your emotions, and allow an
opening for virtue and wisdom
to return. Do non-doing, and
goodness will inform
all you do.
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.
Center
your attention. Stop
listening with your ears and listen with
your mind. Then stop listening with your mind and
listen with your primal spirit. Hearing is limited to the
ear. Mind is limited to tallying things up. But
the primal spirit is empty: it’s simply
that which awaits
things.
Heaven
is in everything:
follow the light, hide in the
cloudiness and begin
in what is.
Don’t
seek fame or
Just pass this life as is, according to
circumstances. When the breath is gone, who is in
charge? After the death of the body, there is only an empty
name. When your clothes are worn, repair them over and
over; when you have no food, work to provide. How
long can a phantom-like body last? Would you
increase your ignorance for the sake
of its idle concerns?

In its essence,
the Way is without words.
All this talking and pointing
and carrying on, only signposts.
Gather too many of them
and they’ll weigh you
down. Just be
silent.
Stop searching for
phrases and chasing after words.
Take the backward step and turn the light inward.
Your body-mind of itself will drop off and your
original face will appear. If you want
to attain just this, immediately
practice just this.
