Caoshan

The formless body of complete illumination of the nature of awareness;

Don’t use knowledge and views, misconstruing far and near.

If thoughts vary, you’re blind to the profound essence;

If the mind differs, you’re not close to the path.

When feelings discriminate myriad things, they submerge the present situation;

When consciousness perceives many aspects, you lose the original reality.

If you can clearly understand from such sayings,

Clearly you’re the man of before, without any concern.
