An unspectacular life
may be a garden rich in delight,
in queer paths, perfumed herbs, and
marble cloisters. “I live a life of no major
accomplishments,” said the oldest man
alive. High living is ephemeral, quick
to change; the light soon dims
among tower peaks.
illuminate your own buddha nature from within
Do you find
your spiritual practice
pitiful and wanting? If buddha
were before you, would you
be ashamed, afraid,
shy, small?
Wake up!
The truth too large
for words is that the buddha
is closer to you than that:
you are the buddha
now.
This entire world is
just for you. All the teaching in this
world is only for you. Accept this without
further thought of whether you are good or bad
and be responsible to it. This is the spirit you
must bring to everything that you do.
Be the buddha now.

Whenever you seek zen,
your mind ground must be even
and straight, and your mind and speech
must be in accord. Since your mind and speech
are straightforward, your states are thus
consistent from start to finish,
without any petty
details.
disengage from negative feelings
Your ego
is unsatisfied with
the path of correctness.
However, to strive out of desire
or despair will bring misfortune.
Cling to what is calm and good
no matter what others do,
and allow the Creative
to work in its
own time.
