[ The body of Master Han-shan at the Monastery
of the Sixth Patriarch:
Nan-hua
Monastery at T’sao Chi (Cao-xi), Gauangdong Province. ]
Han Shan
(of the Ming Dynasty)
(Han-Shan Te’-Ch’-ing, Shrama.na Han-shan De-ching,
Sramana Te Ch’ing,
Silly Mountain)
( 1546 – 1623 )
Look upon the body as unreal,
an image in a mirror,
the reflection of the moon in water.
Contemplate the mind as formless,
yet bright and pure.
Not a single thought arising,
empty, yet perceptive;
still, yet illuminating;
complete like the great emptiness,
containing all that is wonderful.
