There is no dharma
that can be explained, no mind that
can be spoken of: inherent reality-nature is empty.
Going back to the fundamental basis is the Path. The real
identity of the Path is empty and boundless, vast and pure.
With its stillness and solitude, it obliterates the cosmos.
It pervades ancient and modern, but its nature
is pure. It is perfect from top to bottom
and everywhere pure. This is the
pure buddha-land.
…The Path
of enlightenment
cannot be charted or measured:
highest of the high, vast beyond limit,
deepest of the deep, profound beyond
fathoming, big enough to contain
heaven and earth, small enough
to enter an infinitesimal
point—thus it is called
the Path.
