Huang-po (d. 850)
It is all pervading, spotless beauty;
It is the self-existence
And uncreated Absolute
How can it even be a matter
Of discussion that the real Buddha
Has no mouth and preaches no dharma,
Or that real hearing requires no ears,
For who could hear it?
Ah, it is a jewel beyond all price.
