AC,
I can't help myself. I just keep making a fool of myself. Here's some more mere
cleverness for you to scorn...
A Warning
Mere talk of Zen
Is vain boasting;
Extensive discourse and lofty talk
Take matters further afield.
It is like seeking reality
Through empty forms,
Like producing visual distortions
By rubbing the eyes.
Though you pursue things,
They're after all illusory:
Snap your head around,
And you arrive home.
Don't blame me for talking so harshly-
Opening up the heart,
There should be no blockage.
Drawing Back from Error
Thirty-six hundred side-door methods
Fixated people are befuddled by them;
Daily wasting attention
On reifying views,
When will they ever understand Life
And return to the root?
Why speak of exceptional attainment
Of intellectual brilliance?
Expertise in intellectual knowledge
Is not worth discussing.
All forms and names,
All external characterizations,
Ultimately amount to no more
Than so much mental gymnastics.
The Book of Balance and Harmony
Oh dear, the hole just keeps getting deeper, doesn't it? Hopeless, hopeless. Better go
sit!
Blessings,
Ryunen
