I have read your words and they are true
Indistinct from the deepest truths
At first we mistake this magic gem as rubble
Then suddenly we see it is a jewel
Ignorance and wisdom aren’t different
The ten thousand dharmas are simply so
But for those who cling to dualistic views
I take out my brush and write down these words
Don’t see yourself as anything but a Buddha
Why search for a place where nothing at all remains? (nirvana)

P.S. This is TOO deep for me to understand, but I hope someone can help me grasp it. :P
