Lovely thoughts to cool impassioned minds from "Hsin Hsin Ming,"
(Verses on the Faith Mind):
The tao is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When
love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and
undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven
and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth
then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what
you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.
When the deep meaning of things is not understood the mind's
essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
I'll try to remember this -- and avoid the disease of the mind --
when one or another of my brothers or sisters here decides to
tell us all How It Should Be.
