“But if you accept movement as the one that’s right, then since all the plants and trees move, they must be the Path. Movement is due to the element air; motionlessness to the element earth. Neither movement or motionlessness has any fixed identity of its own. If you grasp it in movement, it is in motionlessness; if you grasp it in motionlessness, it is in movement. Like a fish swimming below the surface of a stream, it stirs up waves as it leaps around. Good people, movement and motionlessness are two perspectives. If you are an independent person of the Path, you use both "
jazzier's projections:
In relations to the path, thoughtfulness as well as thoughtlessness will do. Don't pick one over the other.
Waves crash, rocks rest.

“When students from all over come here, I judge them in terms of three kinds of basic capacity. When those of lower capacity come, I take away their objects but not their methods. When those of higher capacity come, I take away both their objects and their methods. When those of the highest capacity come, I take away neither the objects nor the methods nor the person. If people come with views that go beyond patterns, here I function with the whole essence, not grading basic capacity. At this point, the place where the student puts his or her energy is impervious to the wind [of deluding influences]. Like sparks struck from stone or a flash of lightning, it’s gone by."

Who are you without your prayer beads? And who are you without your philosophical barter? There is no point to prove and nothing to seek.

As for me? Just copying my assignment. In jazz, transcribing the solo's of others is where it is first at.
Fake it till you make it, baby, fake it till you make it.
