Description:
坐破蒲團不用功
坐破蒲團不用功，何時及第悟真空；
真是一番齊著力，桃花三月看飛紅。
Wearing Out the Sitting Mat
Anonymous
English translation: Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center
With no real effort, even wearing out the sitting mat,
There will be no realization of the heart’s true emptiness.
After great effort is applied,
Life will be like the flying colors of the peach blossom in March.
