The kind man does something,
yet something remains undone.
The just man does something,
and leaves many things to be done.
The moral man does something,
and when no one responds
he rolls up his sleeves and uses force.

When there is no desire,
all things are at peace.

When you look for it, there is nothing to see.
When you listen for it, there is nothing to hear.
When you use it, it is inexhaustible.

Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course.It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you.
-Sheng-yen

Embrace the quietness, let things unfold without unnecessary struggle. Reflect on stillness, where the energy of the world slows down and gather strength. Don’t push forward aggressively, act with grace, ease and patience. This is the most effective way to harmonize with the world around you.
