The ancient masters
need not be imitated
just seek what they sought
*
in this existence
ready and able
my mind is an empty sky
*
Reality is
ones’ personal agreement
today is today
*
always persevere
life’s enjoyed events eclipse
life’s endured ordeals
*
use mind as mirror
grasp nothing refuse nothing
receive all keep none
*
perceive and dismiss
greed, anger and delusion
the mind’s three poisons
*
searching awareness
the thirsty go to the well
of Zen metaphors
*
becoming one with
mind and body removing
desire for praises
*
accord or conflict
the cause of all that happens
is all that happens
