There are three layers to the universe. In the lower, Tai Ching, and the middle, Shan Ching, the hindrance of a physical bodily existence is required. Those who fail to live consistently in accord with the Tao reside here. In the upper, Yu Ching, there is only Tao: the bondage of form is broken, and the only thing existing is the exquisite energy dance of the immortal divine beings.

The most eloquent seems to stutter.

Spokes unite in the hub of a wheel.

Filling all the way to the brim is not as good as halting in time.

Be who you are, and go the whole way.

Goodness in words creates trust, goodness in thinking creates depth, goodness in giving creates love.

Use your light, but dim your brightness.
