'How many thousands of poems have flowed through me tonight!
And tomorrow I won't be able to repeat even one word.'

I want to promote egalitarian and communist (or communal) forms of the world's religions and replace the supremacist, hierarchical, bigoted, and capitalist forms. That and egalitarian and communist forms of the world's polytheist religions. Changing the superstructure to attain and maintain the economic base of communism. #Christianity #Islam #Judaism #Hinduism #Buddhism #Taoism #Daoism #polytheism #paganism #communism #socialism #anarchism

@hridaya Children, flee the flames that bind your heart,
Three carts await, your journey to impart.
From burning house to village square, take flight,
Where sky meets void, all paths dissolve in light.
No east, no west, no better, worse to roam,
In Dao’s embrace, the free find boundless home.

@moto17 Like salt water sipped by a parched, yearning soul,
Desires swell, unending, and take their toll.
Man chases fleeting joys, yet finds no rest,
Each craving breeds more want, a heart distressed.
In Buddha’s truth, the lesson softly lies:
Let go the thirst, and peace shall gently rise. #buddhism #daoism #taoism #dao #tao

@Ninerjoshua From within, a quiet bloom does rise,
Peace unfurls beneath the heart’s soft skies.
No outward storm can dim its gentle glow,
In stillness deep, true serenity flows.

@hridaya Thank you for this! Hanshan's poem is a raw Chan wake-up call: flee the burning house of samsara! The three carts (Lotus Sutra nod) lead to the empty village square. Freedom where no direction beats another. Get it, and wander freely. #zen #poetry #buddhism #daoism

Today's new installment in the Philosophy in China series: Non-Action in the Laozi (Daodejing) The concept of wuwei or “non-action”: does it mean that the perfect sage or political ruler simply never does anything? www.historyofphilosophy.net/laozi-non-ac... #podcasts #daoism #daodejing #philsky
