Mushim
Mushim is not the turbulent mind
If there is beauty in the character,
there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.
but the tranquil mind
the empty mind without fear
the natural mind standing aloof
from the secular world
It is the mind breaking into a smile
in the here and now
In truth, Mushim is the mind far before
any calculation of the above
