  • The world is really great!

    The world is really great! There is room for the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, the Earth, its Mountains and Rivers, every Plant and Tree bad People and good People. All of this exists in space. The emptiness of our nature is also like this.   Inspired by Hui-Neng

  • Reaching the bright end

    as effortless as light and as certain as time’s passing we walk forward to a stillness we can never know with the clouds yawning in the distance and the sky, forever quiet we drift, less certain than foam reaching the bright end of the sea The Voice of the Sea: Poems of the Tao by…

  • The Jade Tablet

    To guide the Qi, allow it to enter deeply and collect it. As it collects, it will expand. Once expanded, it will sink down. When it sinks down, it comes to rest. After it has come to rest, it becomes stable. When the Qi is stable, it begins to sprout. From sprouting, it begins to…

  • In the midst of Chaos I find Peace

  • The teaching of a Sage

    Someone who understands the teaching of sages is a sage. Someone who understands the teaching of mortals is a mortal. A mortal who can give up the teaching of mortals and follow the teaching of sages becomes a sage. But the fools of this world prefer to look for sages far away. They don’t believe…

  • Caterpillars and Polliwogs

What I realize as I observe this is the Tao of liberative transformation of the spiritual embryo. Those who cultivate reality assemble the five forces, join the hundred spirits, merge with the ultimate; one…

  • The Crane and the Tortoise

    The crane is good at nurturing the spirit, so it lives for a thousand years. The tortoise is good at nurturing energy, so it can survive a century without food.
