harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6660 Loc: Amherst, MA	I. The Great Way isn't difficult for those who are unattached to their preferences. Let go of longing and aversion, and everything will be perfectly clear. When you cling to a hairbreadth of distinction, heaven and earth are set apart. -Seng-Ts'an _________________________ http://www.traditionalfightingartsforum.com/phpBB3/

But because you select and reject, you can't perceive its true nature. Don't get entangled in the world; don't lose yourself in emptiness. Be at peace in the oneness of things, and all errors will disappear by themselves.

Dauragon c mikado Registered: 12/09/04 Posts: 1246 Loc: Oxford, England	I would think these were written by a buddhist but they seem to have a chinese aura about them (or maybe its just the name), so please harlan, was the wiseman who wrote these a buddhist or otherwise. _________________________ The way of the warrior is a resolute acceptance of death. -Musashi

Asserting that the world is real, you are blind to its deeper reality; denying that the world is real, you are blind to the selflessness of all things. The more you think about these matters, the farther you are from the truth.

harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6660 Loc: Amherst, MA	"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both." --Francoise Rene Auguste Chateaubriand
