HSUAN CHUEH

(665–713)

From Canticle of the Way

HEARTS mirror clear reflects beyond fetter.

The void stripped clean, innumerable worlds.

All things in their majesty, shadowed and seen there.

The single gleaming jewel: not within, not without.

[J.P.S.]

image

ONE moon seen as one in all the waters.

All waters’ moon, that one moon holds.

Thus, the Buddha-dharma in my being:

my being at one with the Awakened One.

[J.P.S./S.H.]
