the way of non-differentiation

rick spitzer

 

When the level of concentration

on the void is gradually attained, one will feel

that he is free from delusion. Although he keeps himself

pure and rejects the impure, his mind is not yet

completely pure —  it is as a sword that

has cut through mud and

remains uncleaned.

 

…When one reaches jen-wei, or

the level of absolute freedom, he is truly free.

His mind and body are non-attached to anything.

There is absolutely no gain and no loss. This mystery

is the way of non-differentiation.  If one tried

to say even one word about it, he

would miss the point.

original teachings of ch’an

 

wind up unburdened, as you were before

josef kote

 

The essence of awareness,

complete and clear, is a formless body.

Don’t mistake far and near based on intellectual opinion.

When thoughts differ, you’re blind to the substance

of the mysteries. When mind diverges,

you’re not neighbor to

the Way.

 

When subjectively

discriminating myriad things,

you get submerged in the objects before you.

When conscious awareness is fragmented,

you lose the basic reality.

 

If you understand

such expressions with complete

clarity, you’ll wind up unburdened,

as you were before.

tao makes the whole world one

kevin peterson

 

Tao is a

whirling emptiness, yet

when used it cannot be exhausted.

Out of this mysterious well

flows everything in

existence.

 

Blunting

sharp edges, untangling

knots, softening the glare, it

evolves us all and makes

the whole world

one. 

 

Something is

there, hidden and deep.

But I do not know whose

child it is — icame

even before

God.
