Chinese

Buddhist : Zen / Chan

7th Century

With Sudden enlightened understanding
Of the Dhyana of the Thus Come Ones,
The six crossings-over and ten thousand practices are complete in substance,
In a dream, very clearly, there are six destinies;
After Enlightenment, completely empty, there is no universe.

-- from Song of Enlightenment: By Great Master Yung Chia of the T'ang Dynasty, Edited by Tripitaka Master Hua / Translated by International Institute for the Translation of Buddhist Texts
