Illumination
~from 365 Tao - Daily meditations by Deng Ming-Dao

Fire feeding on fire. Everyone understands that burning wood produces fire. But when fire feeds on fire, that is a rare condition that yields the greatest illumination. Two flames come together and yield light more magnificent than either could have given forth alone.
In the case of community activity, this means that when one cooperates with others, the accomplishments are greater than what the individuals can do on their own. Such a situation requires a harmony that will generate ideas, inspiration, as well as momentum for growth and action. If the combinations occur properly, the results will be like fire upon fire and will illuminate the world.
Sometimes, the combination comes down to just two people. If two people join forces, neither sacrificing their individuality, but only lending their power to an endeavor, there will be a wonderful situation that will both benefit others and encourage greater growth in the two people as well.
Fire feeding on fire can also mean the swift exhaustion of all energies involved. One must be careful not to lose one’s own personality in any joining.
The idea is integration, not assimilation. No matter what can be achieved in joining with others, it is wise to remember that we each walk this path independently. The ultimate truth of the journey and its final rewards are still for each of us to face alone.

Renewal

City on a hill,
Untouched land beyond.
A fallow field is The secret of fertility.

In the city, we see millions of lives represented in the windows, doors, and many
floors of each building. We see excitement and the glories of civilization. But no
matter how much those who follow Tao may enjoy the city, they understand the
need for retreat into nature.
In the countryside, they find the nurturing quality of freedom. They can see
new possibilities and can wander without societal impositions. In the past,
pioneers saw the open prairies and were filled with dreams of dominating nature
with the glories of man. Now we know different: We must preserve the wilds for
our very survival.
We need time to lie fallow. If you cannot leave the city, just find a little quiet
time each day to withdraw into yourself. If you are able to walk in fields or in
the hills, so much the better. But none of us can maintain the fertility of our
beings without renewal.

Sound

Wind in the cave:
Movement in stillness.
Power in silence.

In a cave, all outer sounds are smothered by rock and earth, but this makes the sounds of one’s own heartbeat and breath audible. In the same way, contemplative stillness turns us away from everyday clamor but allows us to hear the subtle in our own lives.
When listening not with the ear but with the spirit, one can perceive the subtle sound. By entering into that sound, we enter into supreme purity. That is why so many religious traditions pray, sing, or chant as a prelude to silence.
They understand that the repetition and absorption of sound leads to sacredness itself.
The deepest sound is silence. This may seem paradoxical only if we regard silence as an absence of life and vibration. But for a meditator, silence is sound unified with all of its opposites. It is both sound and soundlessness, and it is in this confluence that the power of meditation emerges.
