Chasing after words, pursuing phrases,
when will you ever be done?
You run yourself ragged amassing knowledge,
becoming widely informed
Self-nature is empty and illuminating,
so let things take care of themselves
There's nothing else I have to pass on.
-Bankei Kotaku (1622-1693) (tr. by Peter Haskell, from Bankei Zen)
