Of the Mysterious the seal



"Of the Mysterious the seal"
Virtue, abundance in harmony, clarity achieved the Natural Way.




"Who embodies virtue (in) its fulness (solidity) is comparable to an infant child."

Bird tale

Bird tale:
Of wonder
and splendour,
It is as you will.






"The world is full of beauty ...."






The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
W B Yeats

"Verify what you learn ...."



Verify what you learn before you practice it:
Do not go by revelation.
Do not go by tradition.
Do not go by hearsay.
Do not go by the authority of sacred texts.
Do not go by the grounds of pure logic.
Do not go by a view that seems rational.
Do not go by reflecting on mere appearances.
Do not go along with a considered view
just because you agree with it.
Do not go along on the grounds that the
         person is competent.
Do not go along simply because “the
         recluse is our teacher.”

…. When you know for yourselves that something is wholesome, that something is not blameworthy, that something is praised by the wise, then undertake and observe.  If these things lead to benefit and happiness, then undertake them and abide in them.
--> (extract of The Lunar Tao, “the Kalama Sutra”)
