being is born of emptiness

there isn’t any need

 

Returning to the root is

the movement of tao.

Quietness is how

it functions.

 

The ten thousand things 

are born of being.

Being is born of

emptiness.

the sage looks into her own heart

elena heatherwick

 

The tao is the law of nature,

which you can’t depart from for even one

instant. If you could depart from it, it wouldn’t be the tao.

Thus the mature person looks into her own heart and respects

what is unseen and unheard. Nothing is more manifest than

the hidden; nothing is more obvious than the unseen.

Thus the mature person pays attention to what

is happening in his inmost self.

in the search for enlightenment

support sheldrick wildlife trust

 

In the search

for enlightenment,

there is an ever-present

certainty that there is more to do,

someone else who holds the

secret, another state to

attain.
 

In the

finding of it,

there is the comical

revelation that not one

of those things was

ever true.

no exertion or effort


 

There is no place


for exertion or effort in buddhism;


it is just a matter of 
being normal and non-obsessed,


taking care of bodily functions,
 dressing and eating,
 lying down

when tired.
 Fools laugh at me;
 it is the wise ones
 who

understand this.
 An ancient said,
“Those who

work on externals are all  

ignoramuses.”

 

Lin Chi

 
 

Break open

A cherry tree

And there are no flowers,

But the spring breeze

Brings forth a myriad of blossoms!
