Tokusan

There is nothing in the self, so do not seek falsely;
what is attained by false seeking is not real attainment.
You just have nothing in your mind, and no mind in things;
then you will be empty and spiritual, tranquil and sublime.
Any talk of beginning or end would all be self-deception.
The slightest entanglement of thought is the foundation of the three mires;
a momentarily aroused feeling is a hindrance for ten thousand eons.
