Taoist Contemplation

 

"Don't rush, let the fire burn slowly.  Close your eyes and look at your heart of life...The beauty is boundless and inexplicable, all over the body vital energy arises.  Who can know such a marvelous experience?  Let the mind be still, and life be strong.  The spirit radiates throughout 3,000 worlds...Heavenly music fills the sky with harmony.  In nebulous mixture everything is empty, the infinite phenomena are all here.  Marvelous in its mystery, mysterious in its marvel...Eat when hungry, sleep when tired, offer a joss stick and practice meditation."

Master Zhang San-Feng

Feng Shui Philosophy--The Tao

 

"There was something formless and perfect

before the universe was born.

It is serene.  Empty.

Solitary. Unchanging.

Infinite.  Eternally present.

It is the Mother of the Universe.

For a lack of a better name,

I call it the Tao.

It flows through all things,

inside and outside, and returns

to the origin of all things." 

(The Tao Te Ching)
