Timeless Wisdom

Emptiness

Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 percent
Of everything you think
And of everything you do,
Is for yourself --
And there isn't one.
			Wei Wu Wei

When the Dreamer Wakens
he is Absolute Absence.

Upon the clatter of a broken tile
All I had learned was at once forgotten.
Ammending my nature is needless:
Pursuing the tasks of everyday life
I walk along the ancient path.
I am not disheartened in the mindless void.
Wheresoever I go I leave no footprint,
For I am without color or sound.
			Kattoshu

To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders....
The spirit is an emptiness ready to receive all things.
			Chuang Tsu
