DAILY DHARMA
2010
From Path to Peace by Venerable Shi Wuling:
http://www.amtbweb.org/tchquote.php
Monday, May 17
one who speaks
of the teachings
may be knowledgeable,
but he who incorporates
the teachings
into what he does
is the true practitioner
Tuesday, May 18
understand
the true nature of form
understand
the true nature of formlessness
attach to neither
Wednesday, May 19
understanding
the reality of impermanence
does away with desire
for material possessions,
for sensual pleasure,
for existence,
and eliminates attachment.
Thursday, May 20
it is not the other who is our enemy
it is our own lack of understanding
Friday, May 21
the end of the path is
no birth
no aging
no sickness
no death
it is sublime
liberation
Saturday, May 22
calm the mind...
let go of pain
let go of sorrow
let go of bitterness.
heal the heart...
find joy
find serenity
find equanimity.
Sunday, May 23
the mind
swayed by external conditions
is swept this way and that
by emotions
and loses self-control

MORE READINGS
all compound things
are impermanent
and subject to birth and death.
when birth and death no longer exist,
all is silence
all is joy.
when looking after ourselves
use compassion
when looking after others
use compassion
neither indulge oneself
nor ignore the one in need
for to do so is self centered
and heartless.
seek the middle way to
contentment
humanity
peace
when changes occur
we can choose to adapt
or cling to our ideas
we can choose to understand
or cling to our pain.
cultivation is not simply sitting
on a meditation cushion.
cultivation is
correcting our faults,
acting from wisdom and compassion,
having a peaceful and tranquil nature
do not be angry with yourself
because of your failure.
do not be envious of others
because of their success.
by not losing oneself
in frustration over what happens
one will live fully every moment
in everything you do,
be fully present
in the moment.
even a buddha
cannot change that which
we ourselves have destined
a drop of rain
falls gently on a leaf and slowly rolls off.
it does not have thoughts of like or dislike.
it does not attach.
likewise,
our minds should see everything clearly,
without differentiation,
without attaching.
the just person is one
who does not arbitrarily
pass judgment
but thinks deeply
and judges impartially.
one
who is calm in the face of chaos
content among the desirous
peaceful among the violent
is awakening.
to be happy
let go
of unhappiness
we do not achieve things by way of proclamations
and slogans.
but through
effort
persistence and
enthusiasm.
there are four things conducive
to the uncovering of wisdom
association with those who are virtuous
hearing wise and true teachings
listening well and deeply
practicing sincerely
