悟道詩
唐 龐蘊（？～808）

但要無心於萬物，何妨萬物假圍繞。
鐵牛不怕獅子吼，悟似木人看花鳥。
木人本體自無情，花鳥逢人亦不驚。
心境如如只遮是，何慮菩提道不成。

──《雪關禪師語錄》卷二

Verse on Enlightenment
Pangyun ( ? - 808, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

If the phenomenal world never has crossed one’s mind,
What does it matter if one is constantly
surrounded by its objects?
An iron ox fears not a roaring lion;
it is alike flowers and birds in the eyes of a wooden man.
Intrinsically, the wooden man has an insentient nature,
while flowers and birds are never frightened by humans.
Similarly, the mind is in such a state;
why worry about failure to attain enlightenment?

── from Xueguan Chanshi Yulu (Recorded Sayings of Master Xue Guan)
