0:00:16.970,0:00:19.566
The Great Way is not difficult

0:00:19.566,0:00:22.686
for those who have no preferences.

0:00:25.750,0:00:29.550
When Love and Hate are both absent,

0:00:30.045,0:00:34.435
everything becomes clear and undisguised.

0:00:36.800,0:00:40.315
Make the smallest distinction however

0:00:41.090,0:00:46.830
and heaven and Earth [br]are set infinitely apart.

0:00:58.850,0:01:02.200
If you wish to see the truth

0:01:02.413,0:01:08.873
then hold no[br]opinions for or against anything.

0:01:10.970,0:01:14.530
To set what you like against [br]what you dislike

0:01:14.655,0:01:18.665
is the disease of the Mind.

0:01:27.999,0:01:30.140
When the deep meaning of things

0:01:30.140,0:01:32.790
is not understood

0:01:33.100,0:01:36.580
the mind's essential peace is disturbed

0:01:36.580,0:01:38.390
to no avail.

0:01:42.850,0:01:46.600
The Way is perfect,

0:01:47.555,0:01:50.955
like vast space,

0:01:52.350,0:01:57.260
where nothing is lacking [br]and nothing is in excess.

0:02:13.980,0:02:17.840
Indeed, it is due to our choosing,

0:02:18.470,0:02:24.595
to accept or reject, that we do not [br]see the true nature of things.

0:02:28.620,0:02:33.540
Live neither in the entanglements[br]of outer things,

0:02:33.689,0:02:38.949
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.

0:02:43.169,0:02:46.949
Be serene in the Oneness of things

0:02:47.024,0:02:52.704
and such erroneous views [br]will disappear by themselves.

0:02:57.459,0:03:02.349
When you try to stop activity [br]to achieve passivity

0:03:02.429,0:03:09.081
your very effort fills you with activity.

0:03:19.340,0:03:23.634
As long as you remain in [br]one extreme or the other

0:03:23.764,0:03:28.595
you will never know Oneness.

0:03:33.550,0:03:37.780
Those who do not live in the single way

0:03:38.375,0:03:47.245
fail in both activity and passivity, [br]assertion and denial.

0:03:55.180,0:04:00.720
To deny the reality of things[br]Is to miss their reality.

0:04:03.360,0:04:09.090
To assert the emptiness of things [br]is to miss their reality.

0:04:14.520,0:04:16.350
The more you talk

0:04:16.350,0:04:20.161
and think about it, the further astray

0:04:20.161,0:04:23.090
you wander from the truth.

0:04:29.120,0:04:31.260
Stop talking and thinking

0:04:32.485,0:04:36.865
and there is nothing[br]you will not be able to know.

0:04:39.191,0:04:40.781
To return to the root

0:04:40.889,0:04:43.350
is to find the meaning,

0:04:43.515,0:04:50.677
but to pursue appearances [br]is to miss the source.

0:04:55.420,0:04:58.430
At the moment of inner enlightenment

0:04:59.580,0:05:04.530
there is a going beyond [br]appearance and emptiness.

0:05:09.270,0:05:12.400
The changes that appear to occur

0:05:12.640,0:05:15.870
in the empty world we call real

0:05:15.925,0:05:20.095
only because of our ignorance.

0:05:29.980,0:05:33.200
Do not search for the truth.

0:05:34.110,0:05:38.440
Only cease to cherish opinions.

0:05:40.230,0:05:43.310
Do not remain in the dualistic state.

0:05:43.760,0:05:47.730
Avoid such pursuits carefully.

0:05:49.810,0:05:53.705
If there is even a trace of this and that,

0:05:53.705,0:05:55.990
of right and wrong,

0:05:56.720,0:06:01.620
the Mind Essence[br]will be lost in confusion.

0:06:04.350,0:06:09.110
Although all dualities come from the One,

0:06:09.550,0:06:14.710
do not be attached even to this One. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

0:06:39.190,0:06:40.190
When the Mind exists undisturbed in the Way[br]nothing in the world can offend, and when a

0:06:49.020,0:06:50.020
thing can no longer offend it ceases to exist[br]in the old way.

0:07:11.470,0:07:12.470
When no discriminating thoughts arise the[br]old mind ceases to exist.

0:07:24.220,0:07:25.220
When thought objects vanish

0:07:25.830,0:07:26.830
the thinking subject vanishes. As when the Mind[br]vanishes, objects vanish.

0:07:50.039,0:07:51.039
Things are objects because of the subject.[br]The mind is such because of things.

0:08:00.990,0:08:01.990
Understand the relativity of these two and the basic reality; the unity of emptiness.

0:08:12.919,0:08:13.919
In this emptiness the two are indistinguishable[br]and each contains in itself the whole world.

0:08:38.240,0:08:39.240
If you do not discriminate between course[br]and fine you will not be tempted to

0:08:45.410,0:08:46.410
prejudice and opinion.

0:08:50.160,0:08:51.160
To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor[br]difficult, but those with limited views are

0:08:58.180,0:08:59.180
fearful and irresolute.

0:09:00.560,0:09:01.560
The faster they hurry the slower they go and clinging[br]cannot be limited.

0:09:33.660,0:09:34.660
Even to be attached to the idea of Enlightenment[br]is to go astray.

0:09:41.970,0:09:42.970
Just let things be in their own way and there[br]will be neither coming nor going.

0:09:51.230,0:09:52.230
Obey the nature of things and you will walk[br]freely and undisturbed.

0:10:08.800,0:10:09.800
When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden,[br]for everything is murky and unclear, and the

0:10:18.020,0:10:19.020
burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance[br]and weariness.

0:10:33.830,0:10:34.830
What benefit

0:10:40.450,0:10:41.450
can be derived from distinctions and separations.

0:10:47.199,0:10:48.199
If you wish to move in the One Way do not[br]dislike even the world of senses and ideas.

0:10:57.380,0:10:58.380
Indeed to accept them fully is identical with[br]true enlightenment.

0:11:10.899,0:11:11.899
The wise person strives toward no goals but[br]the foolish person fetters themselves.

0:11:25.260,0:11:26.260
There is one Dharma not many.

0:11:30.950,0:11:31.950
Distinctions arise from the clinging needs[br]of the ignorant.

0:11:46.100,0:11:47.100
To seek mind with the discriminating mind[br]is the greatest of all mistakes.

0:11:55.220,0:11:56.220
Rest and unrest derive from illusion. With[br]Enlightenment there is no liking and disliking.

0:12:05.880,0:12:06.880
All dualities come from ignorant inference.

0:12:11.430,0:12:12.430
They are like dreams or flowers in air; foolish[br]to try to grasp them.

0:12:23.550,0:12:24.550
Gain and loss, right and wrong; such thoughts[br]must finally be abolished at once.

0:12:43.850,0:12:44.850
If the eye never sleeps all dreams will naturally[br]cease. If the Mind makes no discriminations

0:12:55.300,0:12:56.300
the ten thousand things are as they are; of[br]single essence.

0:13:05.310,0:13:06.310
To understand the mystery of this One Essence[br]is to be released from all entanglements.

0:13:24.690,0:13:25.690
When all things are seen equally the timeless[br]self essence is reached.

0:13:31.120,0:13:32.120
No comparisons or analogies are possible in[br]this causeless, relationless state.

0:13:49.270,0:13:50.270
Consider movement stationary and the stationary[br]in motion and both movement and rest disappear.

0:14:00.170,0:14:01.170
When such dualities cease to exist, Oneness itself[br]cannot exist.

0:14:11.980,0:14:12.980
To this ultimate finality no law or description[br]applies.

0:14:21.170,0:14:22.170
For the unified mind, in accord with the Way,[br]all self-centered striving ceases.

0:14:29.860,0:14:30.860
Doubts and irresolutions vanish and life in true[br]faith is possible.

0:14:46.660,0:14:47.660
With a single stroke we are freed from bondage.[br]Nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing.

0:15:04.829,0:15:05.829
All is empty, clear, self-illuminating, with[br]no exertion of the mind's power.

0:15:16.170,0:15:17.170
Here thought, feeling, knowledge and imagination are[br]of no of no value.

0:15:25.980,0:15:26.980
In this world of suchness there is neither self[br]nor other than self.

0:15:44.600,0:15:45.600
To come directly into harmony with this reality[br]just simply say when doubt arises: "not two".

0:15:56.240,0:15:57.240
In this "not two" nothing is separate and nothing[br]is excluded.

0:16:06.180,0:16:07.180
No matter when or where Enlightenment means[br]entering this truth.

0:16:16.440,0:16:17.440
And this truth is beyond extension or diminution[br]in time or space.

0:16:23.529,0:16:24.529
In it a single thought is ten thousand years.

0:16:44.260,0:16:45.260
Emptiness here, emptiness there.

0:16:45.260,0:16:46.260
But the infinite universe stands[br]always before your eyes.

0:17:05.699,0:17:06.699
Infinitely large and infinitely small- no difference.[br]For definitions have vanished and no boundaries

0:17:21.050,0:17:22.050
are seen.

0:17:24.390,0:17:25.390
So too with being and non-being. Don't waste[br]time in doubts and arguments that have nothing

0:17:33.510,0:17:34.510
to do with this.

0:17:37.299,0:17:38.299
One thing, all things, move among and intermingle[br]without distinction.

0:17:56.910,0:17:57.910
To live in this realization is to be without[br]anxiety about non-perfection.

0:18:06.330,0:18:07.330
To live in this faith is the road to non-duality[br]because the non-dual is one with the

0:18:14.970,0:18:15.970
trusting mind.

0:18:23.850,0:18:24.850
Words! The way is beyond language, for in it[br]there is no yesterday, no tomorrow,

0:18:39.130,0:18:40.130
no today.
