we all have the clear bright field

a patched-robe monk

 

Emptiness is without characteristics.

Illumination has no emotional afflictions.

With piercing, quietly profound radiance,

it mysteriously eliminates all disgrace.

Thus one can know oneself; thus

the self is completed.

 

We all have the clear,

wondrously bright field from the beginning.

Many lifetimes of misunderstanding come only from

distrust, hindrance, and screens of confusion that we create

in a scenario of isolation. With boundless wisdom

journey beyond this, forgetting

accomplishments.

 

Straightforwardly abandon stratagems

and take on responsibility. Having turned yourself around,

accepting your situation, if you set foot on the path, spiritual energy

will marvelously transport you. Contact phenomena with

total sincerity, not a single atom of dust

outside yourself.

In the search

for enlightenment,

there is an ever-present

certainty that there is more to do,

someone else who holds the

secret, another state to

attain.
 

In the

finding of it,

there is the comical

revelation that not one

of those things was

ever true.

tao te ching ☯️ chapter 80


 

Let there be small

countries with few people.

Let the people have no use for

complicated machinery. Let them be

mindful of death so that they

don’t move too far from

their birthplaces.

 

If there be boats and carriages,

let there be nowhere to take them to.

If there are weapons, let there

be no occasion to display them.

 

Let the people’s

responsibilities be few enough

that they may remember them

by knotting a string.

 

Let them

enjoy their food,

be content with their clothes,

be satisfied with their homes,

and take pleasure in

their customs.

 

Though

the next country

may be close enough

to hear the barking of its dogs

and the crowing of its roosters,

let the people grow old and

die without feeling

compelled to

visit it.
