心如大海無邊際

The Mind is as Boundless as the Ocean
Huangbo Xiyun ( ? - 850, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
The mind is as boundless as the ocean;
Abundantly plant pure lotuses to cultivate the body and mind.
Naturally a pair of hands free from worldly matters,
Will serve as a person of compassion for the world.
