"There is no place in Buddhism for the use of effort. Just be ordinary and nothing more. Ease your bowels, expel the water, put on your clothes, eat your food. When you are tired, go and lie down. Ignorant people will laugh at you, but wise people will understand... As you go from place to place, if you look upon each one as your home, they will all be so indeed, for when circumstances occur, you should not try to change them. Thus your feeling habits, which produce the karma for the Five Hells, will of themselves become the Great Ocean of Liberation."
