Fourfold Realization of the Headless Way

17 Jul

From Douglas Harding’s book, On Having No Head: Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious
The Fourfold path of Self-Reliance on the Headless Way:

  1. The way really to live is to look in and see Who is doing so
  2. The only You are in a position to see this “Who”
  3. This in-seeing establishes You as the authority on what matters supremely
  4. Accordingly your path will no conform to some set pattern laid down from above by any book, person, or system

You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out.
