Poem by Seng-Ts'an on Trust in the heart
The perfect way knows no difficulties
Except that it refuses to make preferences;
Only when freed from hate and love
It reveals itself fully and without disguise;
A tenth of an inch's difference,
And heaven and earth are set apart.
If you wish to see it before your own eyes
Have no fixed thoughts either for or against it.
To set up what you like against what you dislike -
That is the disease of the mind.
The Way is perfect like unto vast space,
With nothing wanting, nothing superfluous
It is indeed due to making choice
That its Suchness is lost sight of.
