calm mind

The Bodhi tree has no tree,
A bright mirror is not a platform.
Originally, there was nothing.
Where does the dust arise?
As such, silence is the mother,
The thought arises from the cause.
The color of the sky is an object,
Everywhere is stained with dust.

If you only see "nothingness", it's easy to fall into emptiness;
Only by understanding "staining with dust" can one see vitality.

The rise and fall of thoughts is the source power that drives the movement of the universe and stars without end. 🙏

Nothingness is form, and form is nothingness.
The empty Confucian color is a thing.
The beings at home cultivate stillness.
The harmony of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism reveals the constant heart. 🙏

The unity of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism

The Zen heart enters Confucianism, taking Confucianism as the essence and transforming Zen into the application.
Representative figures: Cheng Hao, Lu Jiuyuan, Wang Yangming.
Home practice: Beings at home practice at home, ordinary heart is the heart, life and work is the dojo, take all things in nature as teachers, learn from nature, and self-practice and self-proof. Do things in a down-to-earth manner, be a serious person, take care of your family, and make yourself and your family happier and happier! To do this is to have a clear mind and to attain the path of Bodhi in the midst of troubles.
Consider the Earth as a home, where the members of the family should transform the karmic realms of life and death into the great way of harmonious complementarity through the power of good wishes. Everyone makes vows, everyone cultivates, everyone becomes a saint. The yin and yang of the universe will transform into the golden path of harmonious complementarity, all laws return to one, all thoughts return to one, one is everyone, and everyone is one.

Home practice is the path of sages and virtuous people.

The wisdom of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism is not an abstract discussion suspended in the stars, but a golden path laid out beneath our feet.

See Zen in cooking and meal preparation.

Cultivating Bodhi while being filial to parents,

To dedicate oneself to one's work is to cultivate one's conscience.

In this way, "Every family worships Guanyin, every household reveres Amitabha Buddha," the Earth is a place of practice, and the present moment is the pure land.

The practice is not far away; turning around is home.
