There’s no self and no person,
How then kinfolk and stranger!
I beg you, cease going from lecture to lecture;
It’s better to seek truth directly.
The nature of Diamond Wisdom
Excludes even a speck of dust.
From “Thus have I heard,” to “This I believe,”
All’s but an array of unreal names.

Layman P’ang (740-808)
