I know

I know, I know, I know.

 

"Seclude the mind ...."

"Seclude the mind, not the movements,

remain living in the world of man.

Lack a tree? Plant a sapling.

Without a mountain? Look at a picture.

Living amidst clamor I am not flustered;

true meaning is found in this."

"Clouds appear...."

 

"Clouds appear free of care

and carefree drift away.

But the carefree mind is not to be "found" -

to find it, first stop looking around."

"Ten thousand flowers ...."

 

"Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life."

Beauty of mindfulness

 

"When you recognise the nature of mind, fabrication and effort are naturally freed."

Never feel self-pity ....

 

Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is.

Never ascribe to an opponent ....

 

Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own.
