die and stay dead and go on living

this mysterious place

 

To

realize the Way you

must die and stay dead and

go on living. With one mighty blow,

sever the attachments of mind

and self and dwell in

emptiness.

 

Pouring

emptiness into emptiness

like waves coming to shore,

you become quiet,

luminous,

still.

 

Where

before there were

ten thousand entanglements, now

there is undifferentiated

Oneness, clarity,

peace.

freedom and quietude

just be still

 

The fun of roaming free

is endless, hard to exhaust. When tired

I sit on a mossy bank, unaware of the cold sun falling

in my love for the cool of the breeze in the pines. Deer descend

to drink of the valley streams; monkeys arrive to pick of

the mountain fruits. What I originally valued were

freedom and quietude; why should

I require that people

know of me?
