Surrender


The softest thing can overcome the hardest,
Formless, it can enter where there are no gaps or space.
-Lao Tzu

Feeling the pain within yourself ,
You can let softness touch it
And soak into it.
Until there is no more .

Awake While Asleep


Shun once asked Cheng:
-Can the Dao be possessed?
-You don't even possess your own body.
How could you possess the Dao?
-If my body doesn't belong to me , who does it belong to?
-Your body, your life , your children and grandchildren are all
temporary gifts from nature.How can you say they are yours?

For a person of the Dao , to ignorantly believe that he owns his own body is a kind of confusion . to intentionally try to possess the Dao is also a confusion .
When asleep to the world
The world does not exist.
When asleep to dreaming
Dreams do not exist.
When asleep to sleeping
Sleep does not exist.
When asleep to awakening
The awakend does not exist.
Who is it that never sleeps ,dreams or awakens?
