If you return to the Truth,
To the emptiness of delusion,
You’ll know that Buddha and people
Are not different.
Delusion is a butterfly
Plunging into the fire,
Enlightenment, a crane flying
From its cage.

the way of non-differentiation
When the level of concentration
on the void is gradually attained, one will feel
that he is free from delusion. Although he keeps himself
pure and rejects the impure, his mind is not yet
completely pure — it is as a sword that
has cut through mud and
remains uncleaned.
…When one reaches jen-wei, or
the level of absolute freedom, he is truly free.
His mind and body are non-attached to anything.
There is absolutely no gain and no loss. This mystery
is the way of non-differentiation. If one tried
to say even one word about it, he
would miss the point.
