Verses on Faith Mind (Hsin Hsin Ming) by Sengstan (Third Zen Patriarch)

Verse 7


Obey the nature of things (your own nature),

and you will walk freely and undisturbed.

When thought is bondage the truth is hidden,

for everything is murky and unclear,

and the burdensome practice of judging

brings annoyance and weariness.

What benefit can be derived

from distinctions and separations?
