觀心空王，玄妙難測。

無形無相，有大神力。

能滅千災，成就萬德。

能使色身，作邪作正。

是故相勸，好自防慎。

剎那造作，還復漂沉。

清淨心智，如世黃金。

般若法藏，盡在身心。

Inscriptions on the Mind King

(Excerpt)

Fu Dashi (497 - 569, Southern Liang Dynasty)

English translation: Venerable Miao Guang

Contemplate the mind, the king of emptiness; it is subtle and obscure, shapeless and formless, and has wondrous powers. It is able to eradicate countless calamities and to accomplish all merits. It can cause one’s body to do either evil or good. Thus, it is advised to guard and prevent oneself from the instantaneous creation of karmas, which casts one back to the sea of suffering. A pure mind is like gold in this world; the treasure of prajna wisdom is found entirely within the body and mind.
