regard the humble as exalted
Act by
not acting,
accomplish by not
straining, understand
by not knowing. Regard the
humble as exalted and the exalted
as humble. Remedy injury
with tranquil
repair.
Meet
the difficult while
it is still easy; cross the
universe one step at a time.
Because the sage doesn’t try
anything too big, she’s able
to accomplish big
things.
Those
who commit lightly
seldom come through.
Those who think everything
is easy will find everything hard.
The sage understands that
everything is difficult, and
thus in the end has no
difficulties.

down. Just be
silent.

concentrate on your breathing
To Shine One Corner of the World
A student who
had just concluded a thirty-day
zazen retreat with two enthusiastic dharma pals
asked Suzuki Roshi how to maintain the
extraordinary state of mind
he’d attained.
“Concentrate on your
breathing and it will go away,”
Suzuki said.
freedom and quietude
The fun of roaming free
is endless, hard to exhaust. When tired
I sit on a mossy bank, unaware of the cold sun falling
in my love for the cool of the breeze in the pines. Deer descend
to drink of the valley streams; monkeys arrive to pick of
the mountain fruits. What I originally valued were
freedom and quietude; why should
I require that people
know of me?
