  • Clear thoughts

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

    – Hongzhi Zhengjue

  • Sleep

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

    – Bankei

  • Now

    Now
    it’s all you have

  • Difficult Tasks

    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

  • The Essential Mind

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