The Great Way is notdifficult

for those ho ha!e nopreferences.

Without lo!e and hate E!erythin" #eco$es c learand undis"uised.

Ma%e one s$alldistinction& hoe!er&

'nd Hea!en and Earth areset infinitely apart.

If you ant to %no thetruth

Hold no opinions for ora"ainst anythin".

To set up hat you li%ea"ain hat you disli%e

Is the disease of the $ind

When the deep $eanin"of thin"s is notunderstood

Mind(s essential peace isdistur#ed to no a!ail

The Way is perfect li%e!ast space&

Where nothin" is lac%in"and nothin" is in e)cess.

Indeed& it is due to ourchoosin" to accept orre*ect

that e do not see thetrue nature of thin"s.

+i!e neither in theentan"le$ents of outerthin"s&

nor in the inner feelin"s ofe$ptiness.

,e serene in the onenessof thin"s

and such erroneous !iesill disappear #ythe$sel!es.

When you try to stopacti!ity to achie!epassi!ity

your !ery effort fills youith acti!ity.

's lon" as you re$ain inone e)tre$e or the other

you ill ne!er %no-neness.

Those ho do not li!e inthe sin"le Way

fail in #oth acti!ity andpassi!ity& assertion and

denial.

To deny the reality ofthin"s is to $iss theirreality.

To assert the e$ptiness ofthin"s is to $iss theirreality.

The $ore you tal% andthin% a#out it&

the further astray youander fro$ the truth.

Stop tal%in" and thin%in"& and there is nothin" youill not #e a#le to %no.

To return to the Root isto find the $eanin"&

#ut to pursue appearancesis to $iss the Source.

't the $o$ent of innerenli"hten$ent

-ne "oes #eyondappearances ande$ptiness.

The chan"es thatsee$in"ly occur in thee$pty orld

We call real only #ecauseof our i"norance.

o not search for thetruth/

-nly cease to cherishopinions

o not stay in the stateof dualities

'!oid such pursuitcarefully.

If there is e!en a trace ofthis and that& of ri"ht andron"&

the Mind0essence ill #elost in confusion.

'lthou"h all dualitiesco$e fro$ the -ne&

do not #e attached e!ento this -ne.

When the $ind e)istsundistur#ed in the Way&nothin" in the orld canoffend&

and hen such a thin" canno lon"er offend& it ceasesto e)ist in the old ay.

When no discri$inatin"thou"hts arise

The old $ind ceases toe)ist.

When thou"ht o#*ects!anish& the thin%in"su#*ect !anishes.

If the $ind $a%es nodiscri$ination&

The ten thousand thin"sare as they are& of sin"leessence

To understand the$ystery of this -ne0essence

Is to #e released fro$ allentan"le$ents.

When all thin"s are seene7ually

The ti$eless Self0essenceis reached.

No co$parisons oranalo"ies are possi#le

In such a causeless&relationless state.

When such dualitiescease to e)ist
