When people have many desires, this adversely affects their sense of justice. Having many anxieties adversely affects wisdom. Having many fears adversely affects courage. _____________ Daoist text "Huainanzi"... ____ Learn Daoist arts with us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/taichiqigong See more

Sages are not controlled by names, not governed by plans, not burdened by affairs, and not ruled by intellect. They are concealed in formlessness; their acts are traceless, and their roam[ings] are trackless. They do not introduce fortune or calamity; they maintain open selflessness and act when it is unavoidable. _____________ Daoist text "Huainanzi" ___ Learn Daoist arts with us on Patreon ... https://www.patreon.com/taichiqigong See more

True people know without learning, see without looking, achieve without striving, and understand without trying. They sense and respond, act when necessary, and go when there is no chose, like the shining of light, like the emanation of rays. _____________ Daoist text "Huainanzi" ______ Learn Daoist arts with us on Patreon ... https://www.patreon.com/taichiqigong See more

Use of ordinary mind-consciousness to comprehend the Original Reality is nonsense, since the original reality is beyond ones understanding and comprehension. The Original Reality can be comprehended only by the Original Spirit. The tradition says about going beyond the ordinary finite mind, and that Dao cannot be comprehended by use of reflections or other functions of ordinary mind-consciousness (and anything associated with them). Therefore, it is important not just to know the right methods, but also to be able to use them correctly. _____ Vitaly Filbert

Each day, you must not forget the matter of daily practice. Daily practice consists of two types: daily external practice and daily internal practice. Considering daily external practice, you are strongly forbidden to see the faults of others, boast about your own virtue, envy the wise and talented, give rise to worldly thoughts that are the fire of ignorance, give rise to feelings of superiority over the masses, [discriminate] between self and other or right and wrong, or to speak of hatred and affection. ____ Master Ma Danyang

All adepts should quit giving rise to thoughts. Quickly investigate Xing [innate nature] and Ming [life-destiny]. If you can just purify the heart-mind and abandon desires, you will become a spirit immortal. Concern yourself with nothing else and stop having doubts! These are proper and true words. You only need to be constantly clear and constantly pure. _____ Master Ma Danyang

Decrease your sleep, as this is something that [ordinary] people desire. You should rectify your misdeeds, but this is not only to be done through seated meditation. You should keep your heart-mind stable for a long time. Whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, follow the Dao. _____ Master Ma Danyang

Master Ma Danyang said: Daily practice involves never deceiving or mocking Heaven and Earth. Always train yourself diligently. Cherish each moment. Do not pass the day in vain.

The workings of heaven are inscrutable and fathomless, now liberating, now repressing, disconcerting heroes and upsetting great men. Yet the noble person comes forth steadily and turns as things come along, and is not complacent in times of peace. Even heaven cannot deal with such talent. _____________ Hong Zicheng

If you try to control the mind too intensely, this will produce illness, a symptom of which is fits of madness. If the mind does not move, then you should let it be, so that relaxation and intensity find their balance Constantly tuning yourself, controlled yet without fixation, free yet without indulgence, you can be in the midst of clamor without aversion, you can handle affairs without vexation. This is true stability. ______ Master Zhang San Feng

If your heart is bright, then even in a dark chamber there is blue sky. If your thoughts are gloomy, then even in broad daylight cruel demons appear. _____________ Hong Zicheng
