Real Life
Real life is beautiful and refreshing,
without forcing things, shaking, or shuddering,
not infatuated with even the least little thing,
with a heart stuck neither in evil nor good.
The property at home is just everyday stuff:
sweep out the evil and discard with the trash,
keeping the good just to aid, share, and support,
as simple virtue making life run more smoothly.
Not clinging to anything, no burdens of mind,
no fears of death and decay to shake or confuse,
light in both body and mind, never weary,
life is simply cool and peaceful — Nibbana.

Re: Real Life
That which is most tender
Can overcome that which is most rigid
That which has least substance
can penetrate that which has least space.
Acting without deliberate action,
and teaching without uttering a word
are rarely practiced.
So few find their way to the Great Integrity!
