"Inscription on Faith in Mind": Its text briefly states: "The Supreme Way is not difficult; / It only disdains choosing and picking. / Merely have neither hatred nor love, / And all becomes thoroughly clear. / An error of a hair's breadth, / And heaven and earth are set far apart. / If you wish it to appear before you, / Harbor neither conforming nor opposing." It also says: "Complete as the Great Void, / With nothing lacking and nothing in excess. / Truly because of grasping and rejecting, / It is therefore not as it is." It also says: "The two exist because of the one; / Yet do not cling even to the one. / When the one mind does not arise, / The ten thousand dharmas are without fault." It also says: "In the Dharma realm of True Suchness, / There is neither other nor self. / If you urgently wish to accord with it, / Speak only of non-duality. / Non-duality is all identical; / There is nothing it does not contain. / The wise ones of the ten directions / All enter this tradition." It also says: "One is all, / All is one. / If you can only be thus, / Why worry about not being complete? / Faith in mind is non-dual; / Non-dual is faith in mind. / The path of words is cut off; / It is not of past, future, or present" (The full text is recorded in the Shiying ji).
