The past is already past
Don't try to regain it.
The present does not stay
Don't try to touch it from
Moment to moment.
The future is not come
Don't think about it beforehand
Whatsoever comes to eye leave it be.
There are no commandments to be kept,
There is no filth to be cleansed.
With empty mind really penetrated,
The dharmas have no life.
When you can be like this
You've completed the ultimate attainment.

- Layman P'ang
