The Mind Seal
心印偈
這個微妙義，聖凡本來同
所說不同者，麻外錯求繩
心已法法通，雨後山色濃
了知境緣幻，涅槃生死融
the verse of the mind seal
this subtle meaning
the saintly and the worldly fundamentally are the same
those who say they are different
are numb externally and seeking the wrong cord
the mind has been clear about the dharma
after the rain the mountain scenery appears heavy
knowing that the state of causality is illusionary
nirvana birth and death are in harmony

With the Layman Li Xiehe.
与李协和居士
三界无安是火宅，更于何处可安居。
如来示我真实义，魔也如如佛也如。
The three realms are not safe, like a house on fire
So where can a safe dwelling be found?
The Tathagata has shown me true meaning
Demons are such, Buddha also just so
