Description:
童子聚沙為佛塔,而今搬土豈無功。
忽然覺後知非土,當處回頭識本宗。
Those boys once built a stupa by gathering sand,
How is there no merit in moving soil today?
Suddenly upon enlightenment, soil is not soil,
Turn back to see that true essence in you.
How is there no merit in moving soil today?
Suddenly upon enlightenment, soil is not soil,
Turn back to see that true essence in you.
