‘Look cuttingly: Who is it that looks? When you thoroughly penetrate this, the clarity stands out as lacquer black as a coal goose standing in the snow.

[1327-1387 CE]
‘Who is it that Sees?’
The four elements are without self. I am originally without a master. This masterless master is the body, and this selfless self is true nature.
Body and Nature are not two, and the ten thousand Dharmas are one. In this unity there are no sages and no ordinary people. Where can life, death and Nirvana come from?
The merit of existence and non-existence does not apply to this wondrous wisdom. How can words or silence, movement or stillness affect it?
There are many ways to interpret this classic poem. I’ll leave it to the reader.
