The Dharma-nature fundamentally has no blue or yellow; / Sentient beings vainly compose literary writings. / With 'I' and 'mine' they speak to others of śamatha and vipaśyanā, / Their own intentions agitated and wildly insane. / Not recognizing the wondrous principle of complete penetration, / When can they understand the true and constant? / Unable to treat their own illness, / They instead teach others medicinal formulas. / Outwardly they look as though they are good, / But within their minds they are like jackals and wolves. / Foolish people fear hell; / To the wise it is no different from heaven. / Facing sense-objects, the mind constantly does not arise; / Lifting a foot, everywhere is a bodhimaṇḍa. / Buddhas and sentient beings are non-dual; / Sentient beings themselves create division. / If one wishes to eliminate the three poisons, / They will be far from parting with calamity. / The wise know the mind is Buddha; / The foolish delight in going to the West.
