0:00:16.970,0:00:19.566 The Great Way is not difficult 0:00:19.566,0:00:22.686 for those who have no preferences. 0:00:25.750,0:00:29.550 When Love and Hate are both absent, 0:00:30.045,0:00:34.435 everything becomes clear and undisguised. 0:00:36.800,0:00:40.315 Make the smallest distinction however 0:00:41.090,0:00:46.830 and heaven and Earth [br]are set infinitely apart. 0:00:58.850,0:01:02.200 If you wish to see the truth 0:01:02.413,0:01:08.873 then hold no[br]opinions for or against anything. 0:01:10.970,0:01:14.530 To set what you like against [br]what you dislike 0:01:14.655,0:01:18.665 is the disease of the Mind. 0:01:27.999,0:01:30.140 When the deep meaning of things 0:01:30.140,0:01:32.790 is not understood 0:01:33.100,0:01:36.580 the mind's essential peace is disturbed 0:01:36.580,0:01:38.390 to no avail. 0:01:42.850,0:01:46.600 The Way is perfect, 0:01:47.555,0:01:50.955 like vast space, 0:01:52.350,0:01:57.260 where nothing is lacking and nothing is in[br]excess. 0:02:13.980,0:02:14.980 Indeed it is due to our choosing, to accept[br]or reject, that we do not see the true nature of things. 0:02:25.600,0:02:26.600 Live neither in the entanglements[br]of outer things nor in inner feelings of emptiness. 0:02:40.769,0:02:41.769 Be serene in the Oneness of things and such[br]erroneous views will disappear by themselves. 0:02:57.459,0:02:58.459 When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity[br]your very effort fills you with activity. 0:03:17.830,0:03:18.830 As long as you remain in one extreme or the[br]other you will never know Oneness. 0:03:31.030,0:03:32.030 Those who do not live in the single way fail[br]in both activity and passivity, assertion and 0:03:53.770,0:03:54.770 denial. 0:03:55.430,0:03:56.430 To deny the reality of things is to miss their[br]reality. 0:04:03.360,0:04:04.360 To assert the emptiness of things is to miss[br]their reality. 0:04:18.660,0:04:19.660 The more you talk and think about it the further[br]astray you wander from the truth. 0:04:30.260,0:04:31.260 Stop talking and thinking and there is nothing[br]you will not be able to know. 0:04:39.191,0:04:40.191 To return to the root is to find the meaning,[br]but to pursue appearances is to miss the source. 0:04:56.290,0:04:57.290 At the moment of inner enlightenment 0:04:58.830,0:04:59.830 there is a going beyond appearance and emptiness. 0:05:07.000,0:05:08.000 The changes that appear to occur in the empty world we call real only because of our ignorance. 0:05:29.980,0:05:30.980 Do not search for the truth. 0:05:34.110,0:05:35.110 Only cease to cherish opinions. 0:05:40.230,0:05:41.230 Do not remain in the dualistic state.

If the Mind makes no discriminations 0:12:55.300,0:12:56.300 the ten thousand things are as they are; of[br]single essence. 0:13:05.310,0:13:06.310 To understand the mystery of this One Essence[br]is to be released from all entanglements. 0:13:24.690,0:13:25.690 When all things are seen equally the timeless[br]self essence is reached. 0:13:31.120,0:13:32.120 No comparisons or analogies are possible in[br]this causeless, relationless state. 0:13:49.270,0:13:50.270 Consider movement stationary and the stationary[br]in motion and both movement and rest disappear. 0:14:00.170,0:14:01.170 When such dualities cease to exist, Oneness itself[br]cannot exist. 0:14:11.980,0:14:12.980 To this ultimate finality no law or description[br]applies. 0:14:21.170,0:14:22.170 For the unified mind, in accord with the Way,[br]all self-centered striving ceases. 0:14:29.860,0:14:30.860 Doubts and irresolutions vanish and life in true[br]faith is possible. 0:14:46.660,0:14:47.660 With a single stroke we are freed from bondage.[br]Nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing. 0:15:04.829,0:15:05.829 All is empty, clear, self-illuminating, with[br]no exertion of the mind's power. 0:15:16.170,0:15:17.170 Here thought, feeling, knowledge and imagination are[br]of no of no value. 0:15:25.980,0:15:26.980 In this world of suchness there is neither self[br]nor other than self. 0:15:44.600,0:15:45.600 To come directly into harmony with this reality[br]just simply say when doubt arises: "not two". 0:15:56.240,0:15:57.240 In this "not two" nothing is separate and nothing[br]is excluded. 0:16:06.180,0:16:07.180 No matter when or where Enlightenment means[br]entering this truth. 0:16:16.440,0:16:17.440 And this truth is beyond extension or diminution[br]in time or space. 0:16:23.529,0:16:24.529 In it a single thought is ten thousand years. 0:16:44.260,0:16:45.260 Emptiness here, emptiness there. 0:16:45.260,0:16:46.260 But the infinite universe stands[br]always before your eyes. 0:17:05.699,0:17:06.699 Infinitely large and infinitely small- no difference.[br]For definitions have vanished and no boundaries 0:17:21.050,0:17:22.050 are seen. 0:17:24.390,0:17:25.390 So too with being and non-being. Don't waste[br]time in doubts and arguments that have nothing 0:17:33.510,0:17:34.510 to do with this. 0:17:37.299,0:17:38.299 One thing, all things, move among and intermingle[br]without distinction. 0:17:56.910,0:17:57.910 To live in this realization is to be without[br]anxiety about non-perfection. 0:18:06.330,0:18:07.330 To live in this faith is the road to non-duality[br]because the non-dual is one with the 0:18:14.970,0:18:15.970 trusting mind. 0:18:23.850,0:18:24.850 Words! The way is beyond language, for in it[br]there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, 0:18:39.130,0:18:40.130 no today.
