论道 The Path

无形无象道至尊；不生不灭理周全。

道本灵根身主宰；迷者无知向外求。

千年铁树花易开；错修今生恐难改。

慧心静观达真理；闻道觉悟见元真。

人能远欲则近道；人能无欲可造道。

清心寡欲乃明道；处处方便请入道。

The formless ethereal Path reigns supreme; it holds the eternal principles of living and dying with no beginning nor an end. Our spiritual essence within forms the causal root of the Path; but the ignorant beseeches from without. Pleasant to indulge in the blossoms of a thousand-year-old tree; difficult it is to correct one on the wrong Path. Wise contemplations unveil the Truth; realisations on the Path maketh an enlightened. Abstinence from desires shortens the Path; empty of them the Path builds. A clear, one-minded approach brightens; welcomes and embraces all who enter the Path.
