oneness with tao is freedom from harm

tinyao yang

Work toward

emptiness and openness.

Cultivate stillness. Breathe harmony.

Become tranquility. As the ten thousand

things rise and fall, rise and fall,

just witness their return

to the root.

Everything

that flourishes dissolves

again into the source. To dissolve

back into the source is to find peace.

To find peace is to recover your true nature.

To recover your true nature is to know

the constancy of tao. To know

the constancy of tao

is insight.

Insight opens

your mind. An open

mind leads to an open heart.

Open heartedness leads to justice.

Justice is an expression of

divinity. Divinity is

oneness with

tao.

Oneness

with tao is freedom

from harm, indescribable

pleasure, eternal

life.

you are the buddha now

here is what a buddha is

Do you find

your spiritual practice

pitiful and wanting? If buddha

were before you, would you

be ashamed, afraid,

shy, small?

Wake up!

The truth too large

for words is that the buddha

is closer to you than that:

you are the buddha

now.

This entire world is

just for you. All the teaching in this

world is only for you. Accept this without

further thought of whether you are good or bad

and be responsible to it. This is the spirit you

must bring to everything that you do.

Be the buddha now.

this world is a place of preparation

well-played

This world is

a place of preparation where

one is given many lessons and passes

many tests. Choose less over more in it.

Be satisfied with what you have, even

if it is less than what others

have. In fact, prefer to

have less.

This world is

not bad — on the contrary,

it is the field of the hereafter.

What you plant here, you will reap

there. This world is the way to

eternal bliss and so is good —

worthy to be cherished

and to be praised.

Ibn ‘Arabi

whatever way love’s camels take

accept the way that things are

lean slightly back

Do not argue with

what is; simply follow the

progress of truth.

Wisdom teaches us that in order to obtain a following — the aid and agreement of others — we must first ourselves practice following. This is done by steadfastly observing what is correct and putting it into practice; in other words, we follow the Sage. This hexagram comes to remind you to make it possible for others to be loyal and helpful to you by redevoting yourself to following inner truth.

It is essential now to quietly accept the way that things are. This does not necessarily mean that you endorse or celebrate current circumstances, just that you do not resist them. Acceptance is the most fundamental principle in the philosophy of the I Ching. To resist events is similar to resisting the turning of the earth – you only exhaust yourself in vain.

To resolve a difficult situation, follow the good within yourself. Whatever correction is necessary is made possible in this way. The use of force or cunning will only breed resentment and misfortune. Peace blooms quickest where proper principles are given expression.

Leading others is a delicate art, and our model in this is always the Sage. Proceed gently, with balance, staying unattached to results and free of egotistical pretensions. Lead the people by following the Sage, and good results will always be had.
