The path to awakening
Is impossible to map.
It is lofty but has no ‘above’;
Impossible to reach its limit.
Deep but has no ‘below’;
Impossible to measure its depth.
So large it encompasses heaven and earth,
So tiny it enters where there is no gap;
Jingjue in his preface to the ‘Masters of the Lanka’.
