Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable.
Be joyful though you have considered
all the facts. So long as women do
not go cheap for power, please
women more than
men.

Even if, bright as
a flash of lightning, death
were to strike you today, be prepared
to die without sorrow or regret, giving up
attachment to what you are leaving behind.
Without ever ceasing to recognize
the authentic view of the real,
leave this life like the eagle
that soars into the
blue sky.

You’re bound to
become a buddha if you practice.
If water drips long enough, even rocks wear through.
It’s not true thick skulls can’t be pierced;
people just imagine their
minds are hard.

Now is the time
to apply effort toward the Path
every moment, without your mind wavering
or your attention faltering. Catch sight of it right where
you are. When you reach the point where not a single
thought is born and before and after are cut off,
you will suddenly penetrate through
to freedom.

Things fundamentally
have no origin and presently have
no extinction; there is no more to speak.
As soon as you speak, this is origination;
and if you don’t speak, this
is extinction.
