the entire sutra is deceitful
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
hold to the good at every turn
Don’t rely on
others to direct your
conduct. Be determined in
holding to the good
at every turn.
third changing line
from The I Ching, or Book of Changes
☯️
Keep yourself simple,
good, guileless, dignified, unpretentious,
devoted to justice, pious, kind, affectionate to others,
and resolute in carrying out your proper tasks. Strive to be and
remain the kind of person philosophy would have you be.
Revere the gods and keep men safe. Life is short.
There’s only one crop to be reaped from your
time on earth, and that is a reverential
disposition and socially
useful actions.
judgements about others
Whenever we
indulge in judgements about others,
we obstruct our own peace of mind and progress.
We should choose instead to see the best in others,
allow them to come and go as they will, and
turn our energies inward, toward
self-improvement.

remain in the center
Knowing
others is intelligence;
knowing the self is enlightenment.
Conquering others is power; conquering
the self is strength. Know what is enough, and
you’ll be rich. Persevere, and you’ll develop
a will. Remain in the center, and you’ll
always be at home. Die without
dying, and you’ll endure
forever.
