Chơn Tâm Thiền Ðịnh

Chơn tâm không chữ không lời

Lời cao hay đẹp coi chừng chúng ma

Tu thiền không chữ không câu

Kệ kinh liễu dụng chơn tâm hiện tiền

Poem #1

Using meditation to discover the innate presence of your spirit.  In order to realize your true identity, you must surpass all illusions in your daily living and focus on a higher level of understanding. 

Quán Chiếu

Quán tâm như quán nước sình

Nước trong nước đục, tùy duyên chọn đường

Chơn tâm nhất nguyệt như như

Như lai thiên hạ có không quán gi ?

Poem #2

Contemplating on illusions and thoughts that arise during meditation, and to examine them closely until you can see them for what they really are.  If they assist you on your path of meditation, then use them for that purpose.  Once found, our true nature is ultimately pure and cannot be understood fully when using our earthly knowledge.

Sống Thiền Ðịnh

Sống thiền định, không sâu không cạn

Vô lượng như lai, không cạn không sâu

Ðịnh định như lai sâu màu nhiệm

Nhiệm màu lợi ích độ lượng vô sanh

Poem #3

To live in meditation and peace.  If we focus on nonattachment, we will attain a life of peace, surpassing the realm of illusions.  This peace that is attained can be felt in our physical beings and also is used towards the benefit of our fellow man, those who have not achieved this heightened state.
