Listen
up, old bad karma patrol. You dweller in distraction. For ages now
you have been beguiled, entranced and fooled by appearances. Are you
aware of that, are you? Right this very instant when you are under
the spell of mistaken perception, you have got to watch out. Don't
let yourself get carried away by this fake and empty life. Your mind
is spinning around, carrying out a lot of useless projects. It's a
waste. Give it up. Thinking about the hundred plans you want to
accomplish with never enough time to finish them, just waive down
your mind. You are completely distracted by all these projects which
never come to an end, but keep spreading out more like ripples in
water. Don't be a fool. Just sit tight. You beat your little drum and
your audience thinks it is charming to hear. You are reciting words
about offering up your body, but you still haven't stopped holding it
dear. All this Dharma practice equipment that seems so attractive.
Forget about it. If you let go of everything, everything, everything.
That's the real point. Even though you don't know how to practice,
you must let go of everything. That's what I really want to say.
A
vagabond wandering Tibetan monk, around 1900.
