一念之差
明 浮峰普恩 ( 生卒年不詳 )

返本還源便到家，
亦無玄妙可稱誇；
湛然一片真如性，
迷失皆因一念差。

A Moment of Thought
Fufeng Pu'en (Years unknown, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

To be home is to return to the origin
    and go back to the source,
This has nothing mysterious
    that one can boast about;
Clearly and as such is
    the nature of true thusness,
To be lost or not?
    it all lies in a moment of thought.
── from Wudeng Huiyuan (Compendium of the Five Lamps)
