  • From something to nothing and back again

    I let go to land in no-man’s-land. Heaven and earth are one.The circle and the square are the same. They part necessarily, without effort.First boundless stillness, then endless movement. There’s no sense in speaking of form or formlessness.Substance or non-substance—what is the difference? Body, energy, and mind—what are they?I am merely a channel for nature’s…

  • Taiji og qigong spire videre i mit hverdagsliv

    Jeg er blevet undervist af Thomas i 1 halvt år. Begyndte at lave taiji i 2007. Jeg begyndte på taiji og qigong af 3 hovedgrunde. For det første ønskede jeg at ændre en mega spændt krop – af fodbold og skovarbejde. En krop der konstant røg ud i skader og som osse fik disse ord med på…

  • From nothing to something and back

    I let go and enter the domain of no one. Heaven and Earth are one. The circle and square are equals. They separate as necessary without effort. First boundless stillness, then endless movement. It makes no sense to talk about form or formlessness. Substance or no substance – what’s the difference? Body, energy and mind – what…

  • 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…

  • Our Life Is a Work of Art

    After a retreat in southern California, an artist asked me,“What is the way to look at a flower so that I can make the most of it for my art?” I said, “If you look in that way, you cannot be in touch with the flower. Abandon all your projects so you can be with…

  • Meditation and Wisdom

    Fellow students of the Way, be careful. Don’t think that meditation comes first and then gives rise to wisdom or that wisdom comes first and then gives rise to meditation or that meditation and wisdom is separate. The Platform Sutra by Hui-Neng translated by Red Pine

    The great Way has no gate; There are a thousand different roads. If you pass through this barrier once, You will walk independently in the Universe. The Gateless Gate: The Classic Book of Zen Koans by Yamada Koun

  • Meditation as a great Art

    Krishnamurti saw meditation as a great art, “perhaps the greatest.” One must learn this art by practicing without technique—watching oneself: in daily activities (walking, eating), practices (speech, gossip), reactive emotions (hate, jealousy)—becoming aware of these things “without any choice.” Many forms of meditation have been invented to escape conflicts. These forms, according to Krishnamurti are…

  • The path of inner refinement is extremely simple and easy

    Bai Yuzhan said, “The path of inner refinement is extremely simple and easy; just get the fire of the heart to descend into the elixir field. The elixir field is the chamber of water, while the heart is fire. When fire enters water, then water and fire mix and true yang is produced. Therefore people…

  • Mind does not know mind

    Mind does not know mind; having a mind, one does not see mind. Producing thought is confusion; no thoughts is nirvana. The Buddhas attain liberation by way of mind; the mind, without defilement, is called pure: immaculate in all states of being, it does not take on form. Those who understand this attain the great…
