Thread: the last few twigs

    the last few twigs

    Turn around the light to shine within, then just return.
    The vast inconceivable source can?t be faced or turned away from.
    Meet the ancestral teachers, be familiar with their instructions,
    Bind grasses to build a hut, and don?t give up.
    Let go of hundreds of years and relax completely.
    Open your hands and walk, innocent.
    Thousands of words, myriad interpretations,
    Are only to free you from obstructions.
    If you want to know the undying person in the hut,
    Don?t separate from this skin bag here and now.

    Re: the last few twigs

    every word says the same thing
    dropping from my tongue
    and silent wafting away in couplets
    and myriad stanzas of smoke from
    the smoldering years,
    when I didn't know who I was.

    now I just wait for wisdom
    percolating through the rock of my skull
    from the leaking jug on my head...
    when I could have just taken a drink!

    the beginningless story belongs to everyone.

    Its a long walk back to the market,
    so I must be going. Thank you.

    gassho and three deep bows, Taigu...

    Yeah i sat down for a breather and the grasses dried up I need to go right back to gathering the material.

    Thousands of words, myriad interpretations,
    Are only to free you from obstructions.
    THIS(and this and this) i need to heed.

    Thank you very much Taigu
