Wei wu Wei Ching puts a collection of diamond cutting tools in the pocket of anyone who wants to realize enlightenment, the Self, Big Mind. While realization ultimately cannot be surrounded or captured with words, along the way they have power. It is possible to catalyze the transformation of ordinary understanding into Diamond Mind with them.
The text is configured as an oracular text, just like the I Ching, to facilitate concentration upon a particular teaching with respect to a specific question. It centers primarily around wei wu wei, the ancient Taoist notion that translates roughly to “doing not-doing”. By whatever name or not-name, this practice is the core teaching of every enlightenment tradition in the world.
Enlightenment is a real thing, the realest thing, the pearl beyond all other pearls. The emphasis on doing non-doing here stems from the universal understanding across the world’s spiritual cultures that attaining it is more often a matter of leaning back into it than of bearing down upon it.
The teachings of the Wei wu Wei Ching are sourced in Tao, Ch’an, Zen, Sufism, Native American spirituality, Tibetan Buddhism, Advaita, yoga, and other traditions less easily named. They come from the mountains of China, the monasteries of Japan, the clouds above Persia, a red road in Montana, the jungles of the Amazon, the earth of the Earth.
No teacher
or master is in possession
of your enlightenment. Ultimately
only you can free yourself. Just shed your
delusions like a sweaty shirt and slip into the
stream of zen and tao, empty minded,
quiet hearted, at rest in the midst
of everything and at peace
with all that
occurs.
Polish
yourself on your
own over and over until
you disappear, and you’ll wake up
right where you are. You’ll see straight
through the snares of the world and
pass freely into complete
realization.
You
can also now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
book.
