When this mind is clear and bright
And is not covered over,
Then you are not very different
From the sages.
If you allow no wavering
From this clarity, and do not
Let it change,
And do not cling to it,
And do not neglect it:
This is learning.
Just protect it all the time
- Luo Hongxian (1504-1564)

Yet another one I like. I've started in the last few weeks to resume reading The Daily Zen. Sometimes it's something to share and other times it's not but it always seems to touch me on some level.
The absolute clarity of thought: do not neglect it and do not cling to it just protect it.
I like that.
