9. Reaching the Source

Sensei Williams
4/8/2021

10 Bulls (9)

Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.
Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning!
Dwelling in one’s true abode, unconcerned with that without-
The river flows tranquilly on and the flowers are red.

10. In the world

Sensei Williams
4/6/2021

10 Bulls (10)

Barefoot and naked of breast, I mingle with the people of the world.
My clothes are ragged and dust-laden and I am ever blissful.
I use no magic to extend my life;
Now, before me, the trees become alive.

8. Both Bull and Self Transcended

Sensei Williams
3/30/2021

Both Bull and Self Transcended
Both Bull and Self Transcended
Whip, rope, person, and bull – all merge in No-thing.
This heaven is so vast no message can stain it.
How may a snowflake exist in a raging fire?
Here are the footprints of the patriarchs.
