Chih-ch'ang's Verse


Pointlessly producing knowledge and views,
I sought enlightenment attached to forms.
When feelings retain a single thought of realization,
How can one transcend previous illusions?
Our own nature is the actual source of awakening;
Following perception, one vainly shifts in the flow.

---The Sutra of Hui-neng---
