in the morning
before dressing light incense and
meditate
retire at a regular hour
partake of food at regular intervals
eat with moderation and never to the
point of satisfaction
receive a guest with the same attitude
you have
when alone when alone maintain the same
attitude you have
in receiving guests
watch what you say and whatever you say
practice it
when an opportunity comes do not let it
pass you by
yet always think twice before acting
do not regret the past look
to the future
have the fearless attitude of a hero
and the loving heart of a child
upon retiring sleep as if you had
entered your last
sleep
upon awakening leave your bed behind you
instantly as if you had cast away a pair
of
old shoes
let go or be dragged
when you do something you should immerse
yourself
completely leaving no room for thinking
live by letting things happen
treat every moment as your last it is
not
preparation for something else
cease to cherish your opinions
as a bee gathering nectar does not harm
or disturb the color
and fragrance of the flower the wise
move through the world
peace comes from within do not seek it
without
act without expectation
do not follow the ideas of others but
learn
to listen to the voice within yourself
face it accept it deal with it
then let it go
you are exactly where you need to be
one loses joy and happiness in the
attempt
to possess them
to seek is to suffer to seek nothing
is bliss
wherever you are be there totally
if you want to change the world start
with the next person
who comes to you in need
drink your tea slowly and reverently
as the earth revolves on its axis
slowly evenly without rushing
toward the future
we are here to awaken from our illusion
of separateness
let go of your attachment to the self
let your mind wander in the pure and
simpler
you
