The
present moment
is the source of everything.
As long as you have resentments
about the past or ideas about
the future, you cannot
genuinely be in
the present.
You owe it
to your future self,
and to the rest of us, to be
completely absorbed here and
now. Make all notions of past
and future a cool pile
of ashes in the
corner.

Meditate
within eternity.
Don’t stay in the mind.
Your thoughts are like a child
fretting near its mother’s breast,
restless and afraid, who with a
little guidance can find the
path of courage.
Abandonment
of self is freedom from desire.
Freedom from desire is freedom from distress.
No this, no that — just exquisite
emptiness.
Do not look for a chance to go out.
But if necessary, going out is permitted once a month.
People in the past lived in the remote mountains and practiced
far away in the forests. Not only were they free of all worldly affairs,
but they abandoned all relationships. You should learn the heart of their
covering brilliance and obscuring traces. Now is the time for the fire
on your head to be wiped out. Is it not sad if you waste this time,
concerning yourself with secular affairs? The impermanent
is unreliable. Nobody knows where or when this
dew-like existence will drop into the grass.
Not recognizing impermanence is
truly regrettable.
Perseverance in stillness,
in both thought and deed, forms
a noble heart. The ultimate fruit of
a noble heart is complete
peace of mind.

Enlightenment
comes only when you accept
everything that is — without resistance,
without quarrel, in complete stillness. This is
the only, the simplest, the necessary
ground of being for complete
realization.
The opportunity
to dwell in quiet acceptance
exists in every moment — sitting, bathing,
cleaning, cooking, working, wherever.
When that moment passes,
it is present in the next.
Just embrace
it.
