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.

reality flows like water

mike putnam

 

In order to

be a proper teacher to

oneself, one must be part midwife,

part executioner: sometimes rebirthing oneself,

sometimes annihilating and leaving useless bits by the

wayside, until the self soars free and clear of

attachment, obstruction, and delusion

and joins all buddhas past,

present, and

future.

 

Then one

can stop fracturing

reality with names and ideas

of self, other, buddha,

enlightenment,

and so on.

 

There,

beyond definitions

and beyond mind, reality

flows like pure

water.

look to what is pure

fertilizing my bamboo grove with horse manure

 

Give up religiosity

and knowledge, and the people

will benefit a hundredfold. Discard morality

and righteousness, and the people will return

to natural love. Abandon shrewdness

and profiteering, and there

won’t be any robbers

or thieves.

 

These are external

matters, however. What is most

important is what happens within:

look to what is pure; hold to what

is simple; let go of self-interest;

temper your desires.
