patiently bear with inferior elements

married to the sea

SECOND LINE

You are wise to bear

with inferior elements patiently and

kindly. The best way to have an influence now

is to cultivate inner strength and

outer calm.

SIXTH LINE

A determined fool

has to be punished, but should not

be executed. If you are the fool, accept the lesson

and go on in correctness. If the fool is another,

let him go and leave the punishment

to the Sage.

in a great storm the wise bird

julie mcinnes

In a great

storm the wise bird

returns to her nest and

waits patiently.

This is a time of difficult and dangerous conditions. You should not be seduced into struggling, striving, or seeking solutions through aggressive action. Success is met only by waiting modestly for the guidance of the Creative.Trying times are a test of our integrity and commitment to proper principles.

The ordinary person reacts to challenges with fear, anger, mistrust of fate, and a stubborn desire to strike out and eliminate difficulty once and for all. While the temptation to act in this way can be great, to do so can only lead to misfortune and the loss of hard-won ground.

The way of the superior person faced with difficulty is that of nonaction rather than action. She does not strive after recognition or resolution or attempt to gain a higher position by conquering others. Instead, she retreats into her center and cultivates humility, patience, and conscientiousness. On the path of acceptance, self-inquiry, and self-improvement we obtain the aid of the Creative and meet with success after the storm has passed.

all obstructions are empty

no this no that

All obstructions

of defilements  and karmas of worry

and trouble,  are in origin, empty.  All causes and

effects  are dreams and illusions.  The great Way is empty

and vast.  It is beyond thought and deliberation. 

You, at this instant, have this  dharma

and are without lack.

love and faith and light

As my love

and my faith and my interest in

the inner grew, the darkness diminished,

within and without, and Lalla lost

herself in that light.

the value of emptiness

Thirty spokes

meet at a hollowed-out hub;

the wheel won’t work without its hole.

A vessel is moulded from solid clay; its inner

emptiness makes it useful. To make a room, you

have to cut doors and windows; without

openings, a place isn’t livable.

To make use of what is here,

you must make use of

what is not.
