XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 54 00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:40,190 When the Mind exists undisturbed in the Way nothing in the world can offend, and when a 55 00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:50,020 thing can no longer offend it ceases to exist in the old way. 56 00:07:11,470 --> 00:07:12,470 When no discriminating thoughts arise the old mind ceases to exist. 57 00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:25,220 When thought objects vanish 58 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:26,830 the thinking subject vanishes. As when the Mind vanishes, objects vanish. 59 00:07:50,039 --> 00:07:51,039 Things are objects because of the subject. The mind is such because of things. 60 00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:01,990 Understand the relativity of these two and the basic reality; the unity of emptiness. 61 00:08:12,919 --> 00:08:13,919 In this emptiness the two are indistinguishable and each contains in itself the whole world. 62 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,240 If you do not discriminate between course and fine you will not be tempted to 63 00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:46,410 prejudice and opinion. 64 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,160 To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are 65 00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:59,180 fearful and irresolute. 66 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,560 The faster they hurry the slower they go and clinging cannot be limited. 67 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:34,660 Even to be attached to the idea of Enlightenment is to go astray. 68 00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:42,970 Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going. 69 00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,230 Obey the nature of things and you will walk freely and undisturbed. 70 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,800 When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden, for everything is murky and unclear, and the 71 00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:19,020 burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance and weariness. 72 00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:34,830 What benefit 73 00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:41,450 can be derived from distinctions and separations. 74 00:10:47,199 --> 00:10:48,199 If you wish to move in the One Way do not dislike even the world of senses and ideas. 75 00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,380 Indeed to accept them fully is identical with true enlightenment. 76 00:11:10,899 --> 00:11:11,899 The wise person strives toward no goals but the foolish person fetters themselves. 77 00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:26,260 There is one Dharma not many. 78 00:11:30,950 --> 00:11:31,950 Distinctions arise from the clinging needs of the ignorant. 79 00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,100 To seek mind with the discriminating mind is the greatest of all mistakes. 80 00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:56,220 Rest and unrest derive from illusion. With Enlightenment there is no liking and disliking. 81 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,880 All dualities come from ignorant inference. 82 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:12,430 They are like dreams or flowers in air; foolish to try to grasp them. 83 00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:24,550 Gain and loss, right and wrong; such thoughts must finally be abolished at once. 84 00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:44,850 If the eye never sleeps all dreams will naturally cease. If the Mind makes no discriminations 85 00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:56,300 the ten thousand things are as they are; of single essence. 86 00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:06,310 To understand the mystery of this One Essence is to be released from all entanglements. 87 00:13:24,690 --> 00:13:25,690 When all things are seen equally the timeless self essence is reached. 88 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,120 No comparisons or analogies are possible in this causeless, relationless state. 89 00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:50,270 Consider movement stationary and the stationary in motion and both movement and rest disappear. 90 00:14:00,170 --> 00:14:01,170 When such dualities cease to exist, Oneness itself cannot exist. 91 00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:12,980 To this ultimate finality no law or description applies. 92 00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:22,170 For the unified mind, in accord with the Way, all self-centered striving ceases. 93 00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:30,860 Doubts and irresolutions vanish and life in true faith is possible. 94 00:14:46,660 --> 00:14:47,660 With a single stroke we are freed from bondage. Nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing. 95 00:15:04,829 --> 00:15:05,829 All is empty, clear, self-illuminating, with no exertion of the mind's power. 96 00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,170 Here thought, feeling, knowledge and imagination are of no of no value. 97 00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:26,980 In this world of suchness there is neither self nor other than self. 98 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,600 To come directly into harmony with this reality just simply say when doubt arises: "not two". 99 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,240 In this "not two" nothing is separate and nothing is excluded. 100 00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,180 No matter when or where Enlightenment means entering this truth. 101 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,440 And this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or space. 102 00:16:23,529 --> 00:16:24,529 In it a single thought is ten thousand years. 103 00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:45,260 Emptiness here, emptiness there. 104 00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:46,260 But the infinite universe stands always before your eyes. 105 00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:06,699 Infinitely large and infinitely small- no difference. For definitions have vanished and no boundaries 106 00:17:21,050 --> 00:17:22,050 are seen. 107 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:25,390 So too with being and non-being. Don't waste time in doubts and arguments that have nothing 108 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:34,510 to do with this. 109 00:17:37,299 --> 00:17:38,299 One thing, all things, move among and intermingle without distinction. 110 00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:57,910 To live in this realization is to be without anxiety about non-perfection. 111 00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:07,330 To live in this faith is the road to non-duality because the non-dual is one with the 112 00:18:14,970 --> 00:18:15,970 trusting mind. 113 00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:24,850 Words! The way is beyond language, for in it there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, 114 00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:40,130 no today.
