With thoughts clear,
Sitting silently,
Wander into the center
Of the circle of wonder.

- Hongzhi Zhengjue

What does it matter,
The new year, the old year?
I stretch out my legs
And all alone have a
Quiet sleep.

- Bankei

Now
it’s all you have

Undertake difficult tasks
by approaching what is easy in them;
Do great deeds
by focusing on their minute aspects.
All difficulties under heaven arise from what is easy,
All great things under heaven arise from what is
minute.

-Tao Te Ching

Day and night,
Everything is wonderful.
Nothing you encounter confuses you.
These are the essentials of mind.
