Hua Hu Ching - by Brian Browne Walker

This is

the nature of

the unenlightened mind:

The sense organs, which

are limited in scope and ability,

randomly gather information. This

partial information is arranged into

judgements, which are based on

previous judgements, which are

usually based on

someone else's

foolish ideas.


These false

concepts and ideas

are then stored in a highly

selective memory system.

Distortion upon distortion: the

mental energy flows constantly

through contorted and inappropriate

channels, and the more one uses

the mind, the more confused

one becomes.


To eliminate

the vexation of the mind,

it doesn't help to do something;

this only reinforces

the mechanics of

the mind.


Dissolving

the mind is instead

a matter of not-doing:

Simply avoid becoming attached

to what you see

and think.


Relinquish

the notion that

you are separate

from the all-knowing

mind of the universe.

Then you can recover your

original pure insight and

see through all

illusions.


Knowing nothing, you will be

aware of everything. Remember:

because clarity and enlightenment

are within your own nature, they are

regained without moving an inch.
