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.

All the myriad things
are neither opposed to nor contrary
to your true self. Directly pass through to
freedom and they make one whole.
It has been this way from time
without beginning.
The only problem
is when people put themselves
in opposition to it and spurn it and impose
orientations of grasping or rejecting, creating a
concern where there is none. This is
precisely why they are not
joyfully alive.
“they wanted to clothe me in mourning black”
A student asked,
“When times of great difficulty visit us,
how should we meet them?”
Zhaozhou said,
“Welcome.”

She
who is filled with
goodness is like a newborn child:
wasps and snakes will not bite it, fierce
beasts will not attack it, birds of
prey will not pounce
on it.
Its
bones are soft
and its muscles weak,
but its grip is firm. It hasn’t yet
known the union of male and female,
yet its organ stirs with vitality.
It can howl all day without
becoming hoarse,
so perfect is its
harmony.
To
know harmony is to
know the eternal. To know
the eternal is to be
inspired.
Prolonging
life is not harmonious.
Coercing the breath is unnatural.
Things which are overdeveloped must
decay. All this is contrary to Tao,
and whatever is contrary
to Tao soon ceases
to be.
