tao is the treasure of the world

you will often be thought crazy

 

Tao is the hidden

secret source of all life.

Good men recognize that tao provides

for them and therefore they esteem it.

Bad men don’t recognize this,

but the tao doesn’t stop

providing for

them.

 

Beautiful words

win some men honors;

good deeds buy others acclaim.

But the tao values everyone,

not just those who excel.

What’s the sense

in discarding

anyone?

 

Thus, on the day

a new king is crowned

or powerful ministers installed,

while others rush forward with gifts

and praises, just be still

and offer tao.

 

Why

have sages

prized tao for so long?

Because with tao, he who

seeks finds, and he who has

flaws is forgiven. This is

why it is the treasure

of the world.

the present moment is the source of everything

a moment of kindness

 

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.

don’t stay in the mind

open heart, free of desire

 

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.

be free of all worldly affairs

stop your search

 

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.

 

Dogen

 

stillness forms a noble heart

she had one

 

Perseverance in stillness,

in both thought and deed, forms

a noble heart. The ultimate fruit of

a noble heart is complete

peace of mind.
