Be completely empty.
Be completely still.
Witness the ten thousand things
appear and vanish in one motion.
Watch as they arise, linger,
and return to the source – stillness.
This is the way it is.
It is called everlasting life.
To witness the everlasting is to be awake.
Not seeing the everlasting, one engages in blind action.
Blind action leads to misfortune.
Seeing the everlasting, one encompasses it all.
Encompassing all, one is impartial.
Being impartial, one acts nobly.
Acting nobly, one enters heaven.
Entering heaven is to be one with Tao.
Being one with Tao is to be everlasting.
Though the body dies, nothing is disturbed.
