見心偈
明 憨山德清大師（1546～1623）

金翅鳥命終，骨肉盡消散。
唯有心不化，圓明光燦爛。
龍王取為珠，照破諸黑暗。
轉輪得如意，能救一切難。
如何在人中，日用而不見。

──《憨山老人夢遊集》卷四十七

Mind
Hanshan Deqing (1546 - 1623, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: Cindy Choi

As the life of a garuda nears its end,
Flesh and bone dissipate completely.
Only the mind remains,
Bright light perfectly illuminating.
Taken by the dragon-king as a pearl,
That casts away all darkness.
The Chakravartin attains a wish-granting jewel,
Relieving all from every calamity.
How has it come to be within all,
Functioning daily, yet unseen?

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