There
isn’t any need
to seek outside yourself.
Look inside, allow ideas and
methods and ways of perceiving to
dissolve, and you will see that
your original face and that
of all the buddhas are
one and the
same.

the highest good is like water
Be soft in your practice.
Think of the method as a fine
silvery stream, not a raging waterfall.
Follow the stream, have faith
in its course.
It will go its own way,
meandering here, trickling there.
It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices.
Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight.
It will take you.
danielle sassoon’s american bravery
The days and months go by
like lightning: we should value the time.
We pass from life to death in the time it takes to breathe
in and breathe out: it’s hard to guarantee even a
morning and an evening.
Whether walking, standing,
sitting, or lying down, do not waste even
a moment of time. Become ever
braver and bolder.
Be like our
original teacher Shakyamuni,
who kept on progressing
energetically.
By keeping still
you gather the resources
you need to progress. The way will be
shown when the time is right,
and not before.

Weary, I yearn for the forest and hills;
Against my will, ten years have I spent
In the world of people.
Burning incense, I take leave of the assembly,
Shunning worldly affairs, I depart.
The mist invites me and
I know that it is time to rest.
Those of little talent are not
Guests fond of mountains.
Men of little virtue do not
Make companions for gathering leaves.
Should someone ask, “When will you come back?”
I would reply, “The white clouds and the green water
Are boundless and serene.”
