Non-action
The Three Religions[2] stress cultivating with non-action,
But at first improper intention ‘tis with-action;
A focus on charitable works is still action,
Remove all attachments for true non-action.
January 17, 1993
[2]“Three Religions” is a term for Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism.
