文／唐‧布袋和尚（？～917）

我有一布袋，虛空無掛礙，

打開遍十方，入時觀自在。

一鉢千家飯，孤身萬里遊，

青目睹人少，問路白雲頭。

──選自《定應大師布袋和尚傳》

Mind is the Buddha

Master Budai (? - 917, Tang Dynasty)

English translation: Venerable You Zai

I have a cloth bag that is empty of worries,

It opens in all directions and seals

with perfect ease.

With an alms bowl I eat from a thousand households,

Alone I travel across ten thousand miles.

Having too few clear minds out there,

I shall ask the white clouds high above

for directions.

─from Dingying Dashi Budai Heshang Zhuan
