七佛傳法偈 ─ 拘留孫佛偈
宋 釋子昇 錄(生卒年不詳)

見身無實是佛身，了心如幻是佛幻；
了得身心本性空，斯人與佛何殊別。

Gathas on the Transmission of Teachings of the Seven Buddhas - Verse of Krakucchanda Buddha
Recorded by Shi Zisheng (Years unknown, Song Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai

Seeing the insubstantial body as the Buddha's body;
Realizing that the illusory mind is the Buddha's mind.
Realizing that the nature of body and mind are inherently empty;
Where is the distinction between oneself and Buddha?

── from Chanmen Zhu Zhushi Jisong (Verses of the Chan Patriarchs)
