Wisdom brings a wholeness
which understands its own ignorance.
Someone with a little knowledge denies this,
but those who study their lives long and
diligently know that they do not
know anything.

listen with that which awaits things
Center
your attention. Stop
listening with your ears and listen with
your mind. Then stop listening with your mind and
listen with your primal spirit. Hearing is limited to the
ear. Mind is limited to tallying things up. But
the primal spirit is empty: it’s simply
that which awaits
things.
the gate has been open all along
So high you
cannot climb or get close to it;
raindrops scatter in the flying wind.
The gate is barred with green moss. Suddenly
forgetting thought, without attainment,
only then will you be sure
the gate has been open
all along.
the calm light from the spirit
direct the mind toward emptiness
The best effort
one can make is the
gentlest effort: wei wu wei.
Quietly, persistently direct the
mind toward emptiness. When
all thoughts and ideas have
dissipated, then make no
further effort. Just
breathe.
This is the only
practice required of a
human, the best one, the one
that perfectly purifies
our lives.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is.
