what is there to cultivate in space?
Only when you’ve
seen the Way do you practice
the Way — if you don’t see, what do you
practice? The emergence of the Way is like space —

do not give birth to a single thought
be the same all the way through

as any notions of right and wrong and self

will be personally studying
with your own true
enlightened
teacher.
stillness in both thought and deed

of mind.
