少室六門 1.3

1.3

Wisdom is an ocean of purity; / Its principle is secret, its meaning profound and deep. / Pāramitā means reaching the other shore; / Turning toward the Way comes only from the mind. / Much learning brings a thousand kinds of ideas, / Yet they never leave the thread following the needle. / The sūtra's flowers strung on a single strand / Are revered by the multitude of sages for ten thousand kalpas.
