Heart darkened by conflicts
Mind weighted by dislikes
Evil and darkness thrives
Heart expanded by forgiveness
Mind lightened by tolerance
Goodness and light radiates
Through cultivation
Much talk… Real progress?
Many acts… Genuine understanding?
From where comes the evil?
Temptation
With eyes open
Mind tempted
Message received
Moving in body
Combat it
With steadfast mind
But better is
To see not
Only then
A still pond
True progress
Hard shell
carries much
Soft shell
melts away
Pursuit
Do but have no interest in the outcome
Act but have no attachment to the result
Freedom from pursuit
Be clear
With pursuit
Heart locked
Perspective from "I"
No Dao
