Learning to let go

Some times we are too worried about too many things. It then becomes our burden we cannot "let go" of. In Chinese Let go = 放下。 (or "put down") 

In the "song of the self nature" (said by The Sixth Chinese Chan Patriarch
Master Huineng upon his enlightenment ) 
sings of the true self is naturally sufficient.

[Sharing] Heavy Baggage


 TRANSLATIONS:

What you cannot put down, you continue carrying,
What you cannot overlook, you remember,
What you cannot give up, you keep.

One day...
When you cannot move, you will put (it) down.
When you cannot remember, you can overlook.
What you cannot keep, you give.

-Words of Wisdom-The Path of Spiritual Practice

Translation:
Meditation calms the restless heart gradually from waves,
returning to silent tranquility and serenity.
All practices of meditation, chanting, and prayers
aim to purify the consciousness and allow heart and spirit to find its refuge,
that the road of spiritual practice.

~~~Chan Master Wujue Miaotian

 【智者之語】修行之路

禪定是將自己起伏不安的心,
逐漸調伏,歸於平靜、安詳,
所以一切的修行、禪定、念佛或祈禱,
目的都是為了讓意識清淨,
讓心靈直接通達皈依之所,
這就是修行之路。
