> The perfect way knows no difficulties
> Except that it refuses to make preferences;
> Only when freed from hate and love,
> It reveals itself fully and without disguise;
> A tenth of an inch's difference,
> And heaven and earth are set apart;
>
> Pursue not the outer entanglements,
> Dwell not in the inner void;
> Be serene in the oneness of things,
> And dualism vanishes by itself.
>
> Abide not with dualism,
> Carefully avoid pursuing it;
> As soon as you have right and wrong,
> Confusion ensues, and mind is lost.
>
> The two exist because of the one,
> But hold not even to this one;
> When a mind is not disturbed,
> The ten thousand things offer no offence.

> No offence offered, and no ten thousand things;
> No disturbance going, and no mind set up to work;
> The subject is quieted when the object ceases,
> The object ceases when the subject is quieted.

> Know that the relativity of the two
> Rests ultimately on one emptiness.

> There is no "self" nor "other" ;
> When description is sought,
> We can only say "not two".

> What is, is the same as what is not,
> What is not is the same as what is.
