don’t covet name and fame

Those who wear the

patched robe of a zen wayfarer

should be completely serious about

taking death and birth as

their business.

Don’t

covet name and fame.

Step back and turn to reality, until

your practical understanding

and virtue are fully

actualized.

Yuanwu

all obstructions are empty

All obstructions

of defilements  and karmas of worry

and trouble,  are in origin, empty.  All causes and

effects  are dreams and illusions.  The great Way is empty

and vast.  It is beyond thought and deliberation. 

You, at this instant, have this  dharma

and are without lack.
