your own thoughts and actions

 

Look not at the

outward situation but at the

effects of your own thoughts and

actions. Through self-contemplation

and self-correction you arrive at a

proper understanding.

do not resist difficulties

why not help ukraine animal rescue?

 

Do not resist

difficulties or advance against them.

By retreating and observing, you learn an

important lesson. Then moving

forward becomes easy.

gradual cultivation

lori andrews

 

You must keep this

mind balanced and equanimous,

without deluded ideas of self and others,

without arbitrary loves and hates, without grasping

or rejecting, without notions of gain and loss.

Go on gradually nurturing this for

a long time, perhaps twenty

or thirty years.

 

Whether you encounter

favorable or adverse conditions,

do not retreat or regress — then when you

come to the juncture between life and death,

you will naturally be set free and be not afraid.

As the saying goes, “Truth requires sudden

awakening, but the phenomenal

level calls for gradual

cultivation.”

zen letters

 

marry yourself to the oneness

clark little

 

Can you

marry your spirit and

body to the oneness and

never depart

from it?

 

Can you

ride your breath until

your entire being is as supple

as the body of an

infant?

 

Can you cleanse

your inner vision until you

see heaven in every

direction?

 

Can you love

people and govern them

without conniving and

manipulating?

 

Can you bear

heaven’s children in all

that you do and

are?

 

Can you give

the wisdom of your heart

precedence over the

learning of your

head?

 

Giving birth,

nourishing life,

shaping things without

possessing them, serving without

expectation of reward, leading without

dominating: these are the profound

virtues of nature, and of nature’s

best beings.

 

from The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu,

Chapter 10
