浮生是夢
唐 鳥窠道林 ( 741~824 )
來時無跡去無踪，去與來時事一同；
何須更問浮生事，只此浮生是夢中。

Transient Life Is but a Dream
Niaoke Daolin (741 - 824, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai
No traces upon coming, no traces upon going,
Both coming and going are of the same;
What is the need to inquire further of this transient life?
After all, this transient life is but just a dream.
── from Fozu Gangmu (Outline of the Buddhas and Patriarchs)
