The Archer

Filed under: Teachings — roshihogan @ 12:08 am

The archer, the arrow, the bow, the target. All separate but in a perfect universe all are one. Wherever we see ourselves separate from other things, we are deluded. Everything is one. Many little cogs in a huge machine. This does not mean we are insignificant, only that we are united with all the other cogs. To hit the bulls-eye, the archer must unite all the components to be successful. If one is lacking, he will not be. He must unite all to achieve a harmonious result. To live in harmony, we must seek to understand this oneness. When we create this and that, we have created walls. There really is no this and that, it is only a wall the mind has created. Knocking down these walls is essential to a good practice. Seek out the wisdom of the Tao to do so.
