Feng Gan (fl.9th cent.)

Poem After Hui Neng the Sixth Patriarch
Actually there isn't a thing
much less any dust to wipe away
who can master this
doesn't need to sit there stiff
 
 
         Show me the person who doesn't die;
death remains impartial.
I recall a towering man
who is now a pile of dust-
the World Below knows no dawn
plants enjoy another spring
but those who visit this sorrowful place
the pine wind slays with grief.
