尸棄佛偈

起諸善法本是幻，造諸惡業亦是幻；

身如聚沫心如風，幻出無根無實性。

Verse of Sikhin Buddha

The arising of all wholesome dharmas

are illusory in nature;

The volitions of all unwholesome karma,

likewise, are illusions.

The body is like a heap of foam,

and the mind like a breath of wind,

Illusory manifestations are insubstantial,

and of no real nature.

── from Chanmen Zhu Zhushi Ji Song(Verses of the Chan Patriarch)
