Stop Seeking

People is this world are always deluded and everywhere covetous. This is known as seeking. The wise awaken to this truth and go against the trend. Pacifying their mind, they do nothing.

The myriad forms of the world stir and swirl, all of them empty. But without any desires and joy, the virtuous remain where forms arise abiding within the three worlds (the past, present and future) although they are like a burning house.

To have a body is to suffer. Who can arrive at such a state as to bear this with tranquility? They are the ones who have forsaken all things, stopped discursive thinking, and stopped seeking.

To seek is but bitterness. Nonseeking is joy.

To know this and to end seeking is truly practicing the Way.
