5.37

"Because of guarding the impermanent mind, / The Buddha expounded the permanent nature.
Those who do not know skillful means / Are like [children] grasping gravel in a spring pond.
Now, without applying effort, / The Buddha-nature appears before me.
It was not conferred by the teacher, / Nor did I attain anything."
