Cinnabar Yang On Enlightenment March 5, 2008
Posted by Geoffrey Wilson in : Meditations , trackbackCinnabar Yang sweeps the floor and then the steps of the temple while he speaks to a visitor curious about the lifestyle of a sage:
‘Live in a cloistered residence if possible where you may have occasion to free your mind and read sacred books to perceive their inner meaning without getting caught up in the words. Penetrate herbal lore and you will also have the means to support the Tao and transcend the mundane. Strong personal attachments should not be made, but companions should be chosen to help you on your journey. Those with an illuminated mind, deep wisdom, and strong determination are the best. Don’t forget that the mind must let go of the world of desire, the world of forms, and the world of formlessness. Then it will become pure and your spirit will reside with the immortals and sages. Be attached to nothing and the Tao will be realized!’
