4).The Origin of Tao

                                                       

                                                       

The Origin of Tao

         --O Miyoko

The great Tao is intangible, the great Tao is ruthless.
Everything in the universe is included in the Tao.
The operation of the time and space, the transition of the seasons,
The going away of spring and coming of autumn,
The rain in summer and the snow in winter,
The ups and downs of life,
The growth and cease of all things,
None of them is not the manifestation of Tao
We live in Tao; however we don’t understand the Tao.
Speaking of cultivating the Tao, none of us is not thinking that it is a mysterious thing.
As a matter of fact, cultivate the Tao is to cultivate the mind, is to cultivate our motionless mind of Tao and our Buddha mind, our excellent wisdom and true mind.

We can also say that the Tao is in our heart. The heart forms everything, and everything is created by the heart.
Tao cannot be expressed by language but to practice it in one’s mind.
The heart is the origin of the great Tao
There is no object outside of the heart,
There is no form outside of the heart.
There is no mind outside of the heart,
There is no self outside of the heart.
Everywhere and everything is self,
Everywhere and everything is the Tao.
Where there is the mind, there is Tao.
One who abides his mind nowhere meets the Tao.
The great Tao is affectionate,
The great Tao is ruthless.
Whether it is affectionate or ruthless depends on your mind.
The great Tao is ruthless in accordance with the cosmic laws,
The great Tao is affectionate raising all beings.
Advise you never go against the Tao but tune your mind to goodness and walking on the right Way.
Tao doesn’t confuse people but they are self-misled.
Tao doesn’t misguide people but they are self-tied in their own cocoon.
Tao doesn’t keep far away from people but they don’t recognize it.
Tao doesn’t disappoint people but they obscure their own mind.
Tao doesn’t destroy people but they call in everything negative.
Tao doesn’t save people but they are expected to rescue themselves.
Tao doesn’t transform people and they are expected to transform themselves.
Tao doesn’t give people anything for squandering but they are expected to cultivate themselves.
God helps those who help themselves,
God helps those who help others.
Tune your mind to goodness,
Tune your mind to restore your Buddha Nature.
Tune your mind to comply with the Tao,
Return to the right Way.

《大道本源》 

     --O Miyoko

大道无形，大道无情
宇宙万物，都在道中
时空运转，四季转换
春去秋来，夏雨冬雪
人生百态，万物生息
无一不是道之体现
我们生活在道中，却不知道。谈起修道，莫不以为是一件多么玄乎的事情，其实简而言之，修道就是修心，修出我们这颗如如不动的道心，佛心，妙明真心。也可以说道就在我们的心里，心生万物，一切唯心造。道不在语言上，而是在心上下功夫，言语道断，心行处灭也就是这个意思。
这颗心就是大道之本源
心外无物，心外无相
心外无心，心外无我
处处是我，处处是道
有心有道，无心明道
大道有情，大道无情
有情无情，皆在汝心
大道无情规律行，大道有情育万灵
劝君切莫逆道行，回心向善正道行。
道不迷人，唯人自误
道不误人，唯人自缚
道不远人，唯人不识
道不负人，唯人心迷
道不毁人，唯人自招
道不救人，唯人自救
道不度人，唯人自度
道不与人，唯人自修
自度者天助，度人者天助
回心向善，回心向佛
回心向道，回归正道。
