True Freedom Is the Wakefulness of Wisdom

I often send friends a short note I have written myself: Always be clearly aware in the here and now: whatever you encounter, go along with circumstances;

be happy and free from sorrow. Doing things is like painting space with colors: while you are painting,focus your attention, and after you have painted, let it go.

In the mind and in emptiness, there are no cares or worries. This is the classic letting things take their course, and being relaxed and calm.

Leting things take their course is going along with nature,being free and independent.

Being relaxed and calm means that the mind is totally calm, without any anxieties, and without any vexation.

If a person can thoroughly carry out the point I express in this short note, the person will achieve true freedom。(page 75)

我喜欢给朋友发一条我自己写的短信：永远觉醒清明于当下，触目随缘，快乐无忧。做事如彩笔描空，描时专注，描后放下。心中空中皆了无牵挂。这就是典型的“任运宽坦”。任运，就是顺其自然，自由自在；宽坦，就是心中一片坦然，没有任何担忧，也没有任何懊恼。如果一个人能够做到我短信中所说的那一点，他也就得到了真正的自由。（62页）
