Ven. Zhigong's gāthā says:  
"Suddenly awakening to the citta-source unlocks the jewel treasury;  
Hidden or apparent, spiritual traces reveal the true reality.  
Walking alone, sitting alone, ever towering and grand;  
Transformative bodies by the hundred billions, beyond count or number.  
Even if they packed and filled empty space,  
When looked at, not the sign of a single dust mote is seen.  
How laughable that empty things have nothing to compare;  
The mouth spits out a bright pearl, brilliantly shining.  
Constantly in the ordinary world one hears of the inconceivable;  
A single word marks the source, hitting the mark as it is spoken."
