To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened
by the ten thousand things.
~ Eihei Dogen, 1200-1253

If you want to do a certain thing,
you first have to be a certain person.
Once you become that certain person,
you will not care anymore
about doing that certain thing.

When we see a person,
the Tao is that person.
When we see a mountain,
the Tao is that mountain.
Whatever we see,
the Tao is that.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 54

I can believe the Tao is my spouse,
or the magnificent mountain
rising to the sky just east of here.
I can believe the Tao is beautiful.
It’s harder to believe
that the Tao is Donald Trump,
or a meadow strewn with rusted cars
and cast-off refrigerators.
The practice asked of me
is to pay close attention,
look carefully and patiently,
and see the Tao in people
that I do not like,
and in places I would rather
never go.

I don’t have to like everything I see or approve of every happening.
I am free to oppose that which seems unjust
and to support what seems to me to be helpful and compassionate.
It all remains the Tao.

Nothing stands outside the Tao, therefore nothing can oppose it.
This gives me a strange sense of peace.
This gives me a strange sense of peace.
I could, if certain circumstances arose,
die fighting against oppression and still understand
that both the oppression and my opposition of it are the infinite,
ever-changing, dance that is the Tao.
I am free to support or to oppose.
I am not free, however, to stand outside the Tao to do it.

« What is harmful for some can be harmless or even beneficial for others.
Some creatures are so familiar with fire that they are not burned.
Snake venom is deadly for human beings,
while on certain animals it has no effect.
Put still more simply, some people cannot tolerate the air (they catch cold)
or the light (it irritates their eyes),
and yet there is nothing better than air and light.

It can be said, then,
that anything human beings consider to be evil is not necessarily so.
It may be disturbing and threatening to them for the time being,
because they are still weak or ill.
What they express about it thus reflects
only their personal views and their resilience;
it is a very relative judgement.
But ask the initiates and their response will surprise you:
because they have learned to make use of evil,
it has become an asset for them.
And how?
They transform it. »

Logic can take you through the mundane.
But if you want to know the magic of life,
you need to transcend logic.
