"You must understand that life is just like music,

which

is made more by feeling and by instinct than by rules."

The teaching of Being-As-Is

Has been intimated by the enlightened;

Now that you have gotten it,

You should keep it well.

It is like looking into a precious mirror,

Form and reflection beholding each other:

You are not it;

It is you.

- Tung-shan (807-869)

What I point out to you is only that you shouldn’t

allow yourselves to be confused by others. Act when

you need to, without further hesitation or doubt.

People today can’t do this – What is their affliction?

Their affliction is in their lack of self-confidence.

If you do not spontaneously trust yourself

sufficiently, you will be in a frantic state, pursuing

all sorts of objects and being changed by those

objects, unable to be independent.

- Linji (d. 867)

Sages use the mind deliberately,

Based on its essence.

With the support of the spirit,

They finish what they begin.

Thus they sleep without dreams

And wake without troubles.

- Huainanzi

When you stop doing to

Achieve being,

This very effort

Fills you with doing.

Seng-t’san (d.606)
