Illusion and enlightenment depend on each other.
Principle and actuality are ultimately the same.
All day long, sutras without words,
Through the night, Zen without sitting.
Warblers sing in the willow grove and
By the river,
A village dog barks at the moon.
I have no one to share my feelings,
So I just write what is in my heart.
