句容慧居寺
清 雍正 ( 1687~1735 )

即心即佛是非是，非佛非心非是非；
試把是非皆坐斷，管他心佛作何依。

Lines Describing Huiju Temple
Emperor Yongzheng (1687 - 1735, Qing Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

Thus is the mind, thus the Buddha,
    yet the true is untrue;

What is not the Buddha is not the mind,
    while the untrue is true.

Try severing both the true and untrue
    in sitting meditation;

Who cares what the mind
    and the Buddha rely on?

── from Fo Guang Jiaokeshu (FGS Essential Guide to Buddhism)
