Make your mind
like the clear blue sky at dawn,
unmarked by any message from man
or heaven. Continually stoking the
fire of emptiness with the breath,
you instantly incinerate
whatever appears.
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.
Nobody can set right
a mismanaged life with a few words.
But there is no pit you cannot climb out of provided
you make the right effort at the right place. When one is in a mess
like you are, one has no right any more to worry about the idiocy of one’s
own psychology, but must do the next thing with diligence and devotion
and earn the goodwill of others. In every littlest thing you do in this
way you will find yourself. Everyone has to do it the hard
way, and always with the next, the littlest,
and the hardest things.
As there is no self and no others
How can there be degrees of intimacy?
You should not lecture from assembly to assembly,
Since words do not lead directly to the Truth.
Prajñå being liked to the diamond
Should be free from even a speck of dust.
The entire sutra from beginning to end
Is nothing but deceitful words.
recorded sayings of layman p’ang
If you place your body in the realm
Of equanimity and non-contention,
And let your mind roam in the
Territory of evenness and non-disturbance,
And water them every day with
Fair words and fine deeds of sage worthies,
Then you are sure to progress.
