One mote flying up dims the sky;
One speck of dust covers the earth.
Is there anything to compare with wearing of clothes and eating of food?
Beyond this there is no Buddha or Bodhisattva.
To know the original Mind, the essential Mature,
This is the great disease of (our) religion.
The Tathagata's True-Law Eye-Treasury, --
It is just like two mirrors reflecting each other.
It cannot be attained by mind;
It is not to be sought after through mindlessness.
It cannot be created by speech;
It cannot be penetrated by silence.
The geese do not wish to leave their reflection behind;
The water has no mind to retain their image.
