Fu Yu (497-569)Thus the wise one
Puts the mind down and lets it be.
Don’t say the Mind King
Is empty and without essence;
It can cause the body
To do evil and good.
It does not exist, nor is it nonexistent.
It appears and disappears unpredictably.
When the nature of mind
Departs from emptiness,
It can be sacred or profane.
