It's a Way of Life

The Great Way is not difficult:
Just dont pick and choose.
Cust off all likes and dislikes
And it is clear like space.


Likes and dislikes
Are the mind's disease.
If you miss the deep meaning,
It is useless to still your thoughts.

Outside, don't get tangled in things.
Inside, don't get lost in emptiness.
Be still and become one,
And Confusion stops by itself.

Longing gives rise to grief;
Longing gives rise to fear.
For someone released from longing
There is neither grief nor fear.

Do not consider the faluts of others
Or what they have or haven't done.
Consider rather
What you yourself have or haven't done.


Many do not realize that
We must die.
For those who ralize this,
Quarrels end.

Glory grows for a person who is Energetic and Mindful.
