1 00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:19,566 The Great Way is not difficult 2 00:00:19,566 --> 00:00:22,686 for those who have no preferences. 3 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:29,550 When Love and Hate are both absent, 4 00:00:30,045 --> 00:00:34,435 everything becomes clear and undisguised. 5 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,315 Make the smallest distinction however 6 00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:46,830 and heaven and Earth are set infinitely apart. 7 00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:02,200 If you wish to see the truth 8 00:01:02,413 --> 00:01:08,873 then hold no opinions for or against anything. 9 00:01:10,970 --> 00:01:14,530 To set what you like against what you dislike 10 00:01:14,655 --> 00:01:18,665 is the disease of the Mind. 11 00:01:27,999 --> 00:01:30,140 When the deep meaning of things 12 00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:32,790 is not understood 13 00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:36,580 the mind's essential peace is disturbed 14 00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:38,390 to no avail. 15 00:01:42,850 --> 00:01:46,600 The Way is perfect, 16 00:01:47,555 --> 00:01:50,955 like vast space, 17 00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:57,260 where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess. 18 00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:14,980 Indeed it is due to our choosing, to accept or reject, that we do not see the true nature of things. 19 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,600 Live neither in the entanglements of outer things nor in inner feelings of emptiness. 20 00:02:40,769 --> 00:02:41,769 Be serene in the Oneness of things and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves. 21 00:02:57,459 --> 00:02:58,459 When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity your very effort fills you with activity. 22 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:18,830 As long as you remain in one extreme or the other you will never know Oneness. 23 00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:32,030 Those who do not live in the single way fail in both activity and passivity, assertion and 24 00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:54,770 denial. 25 00:03:55,430 --> 00:03:56,430 To deny the reality of things is to miss their reality. 26 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,360 To assert the emptiness of things is to miss their reality. 27 00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:19,660 The more you talk and think about it the further astray you wander from the truth. 28 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:31,260 Stop talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know. 29 00:04:39,191 --> 00:04:40,191 To return to the root is to find the meaning, but to pursue appearances is to miss the source. 30 00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:57,290 At the moment of inner enlightenment 31 00:04:58,830 --> 00:04:59,830 there is a going beyond appearance and emptiness. 32 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000 The changes that appear to occur in the empty world we call real only because of our ignorance. 33 00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:30,980 Do not search for the truth. 34 00:05:34,110 --> 00:05:35,110 Only cease to cherish opinions. 35 00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:41,230 Do not remain in the dualistic state. Avoid such pursuits carefully. 36 00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:46,580 If there is even a trace of this and that, of right and wrong, the Mind Essence will be 37 00:06:00,730 --> 00:06:01,730 lost in confusion. 38 00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:04,850 Although all dualities come from the One, do not be attached even to this One. 39 00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:40,190 When the Mind exists undisturbed in the Way nothing in the world can offend, and when a 40 00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:50,020 thing can no longer offend it ceases to exist in the old way. 41 00:07:11,470 --> 00:07:12,470 When no discriminating thoughts arise the old mind ceases to exist. 42 00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:25,220 When thought objects vanish 43 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:26,830 the thinking subject vanishes. As when the Mind vanishes, objects vanish. 44 00:07:50,039 --> 00:07:51,039 Things are objects because of the subject. The mind is such because of things. 45 00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:01,990 Understand the relativity of these two and the basic reality; the unity of emptiness. 46 00:08:12,919 --> 00:08:13,919 In this emptiness the two are indistinguishable and each contains in itself the whole world. 47 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,240 If you do not discriminate between course and fine you will not be tempted to 48 00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:46,410 prejudice and opinion. 49 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,160 To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are 50 00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:59,180 fearful and irresolute. 51 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,560 The faster they hurry the slower they go and clinging cannot be limited. 52 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:34,660 Even to be attached to the idea of Enlightenment is to go astray. 53 00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:42,970 Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going. 54 00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,230 Obey the nature of things and you will walk freely and undisturbed. 55 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,800 When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden, for everything is murky and unclear, and the 56 00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:19,020 burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance and weariness. 57 00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:34,830 What benefit 58 00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:41,450 can be derived from distinctions and separations. 59 00:10:47,199 --> 00:10:48,199 If you wish to move in the One Way do not dislike even the world of senses and ideas. 60 00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,380 Indeed to accept them fully is identical with true enlightenment. 61 00:11:10,899 --> 00:11:11,899 The wise person strives toward no goals but the foolish person fetters themselves. 62 00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:26,260 There is one Dharma not many. 63 00:11:30,950 --> 00:11:31,950 Distinctions arise from the clinging needs of the ignorant. 64 00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,100 To seek mind with the discriminating mind is the greatest of all mistakes. 65 00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:56,220 Rest and unrest derive from illusion. With Enlightenment there is no liking and disliking. 66 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,880 All dualities come from ignorant inference. 67 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:12,430 They are like dreams or flowers in air; foolish to try to grasp them. 68 00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:24,550 Gain and loss, right and wrong; such thoughts must finally be abolished at once. 69 00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:44,850 If the eye never sleeps all dreams will naturally cease. If the Mind makes no discriminations 70 00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:56,300 the ten thousand things are as they are; of single essence. 71 00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:06,310 To understand the mystery of this One Essence is to be released from all entanglements. 72 00:13:24,690 --> 00:13:25,690 When all things are seen equally the timeless self essence is reached. 73 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,120 No comparisons or analogies are possible in this causeless, relationless state. 74 00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:50,270 Consider movement stationary and the stationary in motion and both movement and rest disappear. 75 00:14:00,170 --> 00:14:01,170 When such dualities cease to exist, Oneness itself cannot exist. 76 00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:12,980 To this ultimate finality no law or description applies. 77 00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:22,170 For the unified mind, in accord with the Way, all self-centered striving ceases. 78 00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:30,860 Doubts and irresolutions vanish and life in true faith is possible. 79 00:14:46,660 --> 00:14:47,660 With a single stroke we are freed from bondage. Nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing. 80 00:15:04,829 --> 00:15:05,829 All is empty, clear, self-illuminating, with no exertion of the mind's power. 81 00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,170 Here thought, feeling, knowledge and imagination are of no of no value. 82 00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:26,980 In this world of suchness there is neither self nor other than self. 83 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,600 To come directly into harmony with this reality just simply say when doubt arises: "not two". 84 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,240 In this "not two" nothing is separate and nothing is excluded. 85 00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,180 No matter when or where Enlightenment means entering this truth. 86 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,440 And this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or space. 87 00:16:23,529 --> 00:16:24,529 In it a single thought is ten thousand years. 88 00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:45,260 Emptiness here, emptiness there. 89 00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:46,260 But the infinite universe stands always before your eyes. 90 00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:06,699 Infinitely large and infinitely small- no difference. For definitions have vanished and no boundaries 91 00:17:21,050 --> 00:17:22,050 are seen. 92 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:25,390 So too with being and non-being. Don't waste time in doubts and arguments that have nothing 93 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:34,510 to do with this. 94 00:17:37,299 --> 00:17:38,299 One thing, all things, move among and intermingle without distinction. 95 00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:57,910 To live in this realization is to be without anxiety about non-perfection. 96 00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:07,330 To live in this faith is the road to non-duality because the non-dual is one with the 97 00:18:14,970 --> 00:18:15,970 trusting mind. 98 00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:24,850 Words! The way is beyond language, for in it there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, 99 00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:40,130 no today.
