Flowing Smoothly

Yutang Lin

Life is like a river flowing incessantly,
It flows smoothly when mind is quiet.
In the absence of grasping and worries,
Buddha's blessing will naturally arrive.

Comments:

This indication of calming one's mind to help cure illness through reception of Buddha's blessings was written for a Dharma friend, Miss Cheng, who is suffering in sickness. As to the method for pacifying the mind there is none other more practical than to concentrate on repeating in silence a holy epithet of Buddha.
