The space within is always there
If you can moderate desire
A place of utter emptiness
And possibility entire
2
Where beautiful and ugly
Do not stand in opposition
Where life and death or yes and no
Do not make a contradiction
Can you see the vacant place
Where good and bad and sad and merry
Disappear forevermore？
Where nothing ever is contrary
So stay within the emptiness
Unless you rise you never fall
Accepting that which comes your way
You are forever all in all
3
If you love accumulation
Gain and increase every day
Thieves and robbers will be waiting
Just to take it all away
Best to be so empty…headed
That it seems you've lost it all
You will know you're on the way
Though others say you're at a stall
4
This nothingness is like a well
Always giving； never taking
And all claims to origin
Neither wanting or forsaking
You know it's ever present
You find it where you have no face
It is a wondrous blessing
Original amazing grace
5
This emptiness is truly void
And infinitely capacious
It holds whatever comes its way
Eternally tenacious
Can you take whatever comes？
Though judgment calls it bad and good
Seeing is acceptance
And nothing to be understood
6
Complete and full awareness
Is like an open valley
Of endless generation
That doesn't reach finale
It is a simple presence
It's a nothing you can see
You'll find it right at center
Wherever you may be
7
This presence is unlimited
Because it wasn't ever born
And it will not be perishing
Will never give you cause to mourn
It truly wants for nothing
It has no wishes of its own
It is the one and only
Eternally alone
It holds itself in vacancy
With no desire to advance
Remaining in simplicity
It merely witnesses the dance
The seer will remain behind
And never yearns for leaving home
Just living in the here and now
Prefers to stay unknown
8
The seer flows like water
Lying low along the way
Nourishing whatever comes
To be held on display
The seer keeps to simple ways
And therefore is content
When joy or sorrow manifests
To give complete assent
If you can clearly be yourself
And never rise to interfere
Everyone will cherish you
And always hold you dear
9
Don't fill a bowl
Till it's more than full
Or sharpen a blade
Till it must go dull
Don't pile up treasure
That comes at great cost
Approval and riches
Are easily lost
Can you only do
What's really needed
Then stop and withdraw
When your task is completed？
10
Can you see as a child sees
And keep the simple vision？
See the inner oneness
With absolute precision
Hold all things in your embrace
The entire world is in your care
Let things be just as they are
Extend acceptance everywhere
Let go all need to comprehend
The truth is here where all behold
Their infinite capacity
To welcome and enfold
11
The empty hub at center
Allows a wheel to roll
The vacancy within defines
The function of a bowl
The openness within a house
Provides location to reside
The open space that is my heart
Is where ten thousand things abide
12
Too much sound can make you deaf
Too many colors leave you blind
Can you let desire die down
And not leave emptiness behind？
Wanting things can drive you mad
And acquisition makes you poor
See that you are everything
And leave off wanting more
13
Fame and shame are equal
And so are gain and loss
It isn't very difficult
To get this point across
Having fame you know that you
Are terrified to lose it
Making gain you always fear
That others will abuse it
Can you see that you're not like
Your image or reflection？
Just see you are totality
By looking in your own direction
The one who is not limited
Accepts whatever comes or goes
And cares for everything around
On opening and close
14
When you look； it isn't there
Listen and you cannot hear it
It seems to be beyond your reach
Because you are so near it
This single source of everything
Appears to be an empty image
Though it cannot be understood
You can see its naked visage
Follow it to nothingness
Approach it where you have no face
From nowhere to infinity
This vacant image leaves no trace
From never to eternity
This naked face is what you are
An empty； vacant； open door
Forevermore ajar
15
Those of old who knew the way
To origin and source within
Have seen the place where wholeness
And infinity begin
Alert as one on a frozen stream
Or one who watches for the foe
Deferential as a guest
And generous as melting snow
Plain as an uncarved block of wood
Expansive as a vale
Transparent just like water
Whose clarity will never fail
Can you keep yourself so still
That muddy water clears？
And wait until right action
Spontaneously appears？
16
See that you are emptiness
Always quiet and at peace
You're in the place where all begins
The space where all things cease
All things arise and have their day
And then go back to the single source
Returning to serenity
With no regret and no remorse
When you see the source within
You only give assent
You see you're everlasting
And eternally omnificent
17
It's best if you are barely known
The lesser state is being praised
Worse is being hated
Just stay empty and amazed
Only do what must be done
And see you are the one alone
When you finish all will say
We did this on our own
18
Goodness and compliance
Came when people lost the way
Spontaneity declined
Hypocrisy was here to stay
19
Banish learned discourse
And everyone will be content
Eliminate propriety
Increase astonishment
Stay away from fraud and swindle
Everyone is bound to gain
You really have it all you know
There is no basis to complain
Can you see your empty core？
It isn't missing； gone or hidden
Just let go of neediness
And it will come unbidden
20
You need not give a yes or no
Such distinctions matter little
Keep your vision open
And be at center noncommittal
See that it's ridiculous
To seek success and fear to fail
To ever want what others want
To think you always must prevail
Other people look so bright
I am dark and void and null
Others are so very sharp
While I alone am dull
Others are so purposeful
Only I don't underst
