佛不見身知是佛，若實有知別無佛；

智者能知罪性空，坦然不怖於生死。

Gathas on the Transmission

of Teachings of the Seven Buddhas (Excerpt)

Recorded by Shi Zisheng (Years unknown, Song Dynasty)

English translation: Ven. You Zai

Verse of Kanakamuni Buddha

One who does not discern the Buddha’s body,

realizes the Buddha.

When one distinguishes the substantial, there is no Buddha.

The wise one understands that the inherent nature of

condemnation are of empty.

And thus calmly and fearlessly accepting life and death.

— from Chanmen Zhu Zhushi Ji Song

(Verses of the Chan Patriarch)
