So high you
cannot climb or get close to it;
raindrops scatter in the flying wind.
The gate is barred with green moss. Suddenly
forgetting thought, without attainment,
only then will you be sure
the gate has been open
all along.

place your esteem on the tao
He who desires
the admiration of the world
will do well to amass a great fortune
and then give it away. The world will respond
with admiration in proportion to the size
of his treasure. Of course, this
is meaningless.
Stop striving after
admiration. Place your esteem on
the tao. Live in accord with it, share with
others the teachings that lead to it,
and you will be immersed in the
blessings that flow
from it.

know that enough is enough
When
the world practices Tao,
horses fertilize the fields. When
the world ignores Tao,
horses are bred for
war.
There is no
greater calamity than
desire, no greater curse than greed.
Know that enough is enough,
and you’ll always have
enough.

don’t covet name and fame
giving to each thing the same respect
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.
the sage has no set mind
The sage has no set mind.
She adopts the concerns
of others as her own.
She is good to the good.
She is also good to the bad.
This is real goodness.
She trusts the trustworthy.
She also trusts the untrustworthy.
This is real trust.
The sage takes the minds
of the worldly and spins them around.
People drop their ideas and agendas,
and she guides them like
beloved children.
