識得面目
明 憨山德清 ( 1546~1623 )

拋卻身心見法王，前程不必問行藏；
但能識得娘生面，草木叢林盡放光。

Recalling Our Nature
Hanshan Deqing (1546 - 1623, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai

Renouncing one's body and mind,
one sees the Dharma king.
There is no need to question
about the causation of the past,
As long as we can recall our intrinsic nature,
Even the grass, trees, and forests illuminate universally.

── from Hanshan Laoren Mengyou Ji (Collection of Old Man Hanshan's Dream Travels)
