When we put aside
the superstition of patriarchy and fundamentalism
we see there is absolutely NO need
for any ritualism.
Perhaps that is why,
in the thirty-eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching,
we read
“…when morality is lost
there is ritual.
Ritual is the (mere) husk of true faith,
the beginning of chaos.
Therefore the Master
concerns himself
with the depths and NOT the surface,
with the fruit and NOT the flower.”
The path is three-fold, my friend.
Read the Tao Te Ching daily,
understand it,
and apply it.
If that is all you do,
then that is most certainly enough
and in a remarkably short period of time
you could be a sage of the way.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
not by monasteries but by students
as such the production of these livestreams,
blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
