all this teaching is just for you

the living expression

 

If

the Way

were about being

a student of something,

it wouldn’t be alive in the world.

It lives because certain people say to 

themselves, “All this teaching is

just for me. I am the living 

expression of

this.”

 

This

isn’t arrogant.

This is humbly keeping the

buddhasLao Tzu, Lalla, Rumi, Suzuki,

BahauddinYuanwu, all of them, alive in the

world. Only you can accomplish this. 

You are the only

one.

Inner wealth

consists of modesty, balance,

understanding, and compassion for others.

When you have achieved this, your

outer fortune will be

unlimited.

the way of heaven, the way of the sage

shero

 

True words aren’t

elaborate. Elaborate words aren’t true.

Good people don’t argue. People who argue

aren’t good. People who know aren’t

full of facts. People who are full

of facts don’t know.

 

The sage doesn’t hoard.

She increases her treasure by

working for her fellow human beings.

She increases her abundance

by giving herself

to them.

 

The way of heaven:

benefit all, harm none.

The way of the sage: work

for all, contend

with none.

taken away by random thoughts

stop it

 

The reason you

do not understand is just

because you are taken away by random

thoughts twenty-four hours a day. Since you

want to learn business, you fall in love with things

you see and fondly pursue things you read;

over time, you get continuously involved.

How can you manage to work on

enlightenment then?

contact with good and bad

the most authentic master I ever encountered

 
Something in prolonged contact with rouge eventually becomes red, something in prolonged contact with soot eventually becomes black. What I realize as I observe this is the tao of habituation to good and bad.
 
When you live with good people, what you always hear are good words and what you always see are good actions. Hearing and seeing good words and actions over a long period of time plants good seeds in your mind, so that you spontanteously become accustomed to goodness.
 
When you live with bad people, what you always hear are bad words and what you always see are bad actions. Hearing and seeing bad words and bad actions over a long period of time plants bad seeds in your mind, so that you naturally become accustomed to badness.
 
Good and bad people are said to be so by nature, but most become so through habit. Therefore wise people choose their associates carefully.
