Do not seek the truth from others;
Further and further he will retreat from you.
Alone I now go,
And I will come across him wherever I look.
He is no other than myself,
And yet I am not he.
When this is understood,
I am face to face with Tahata (suchness).
Tung-shan 9th century China
The still pond, ah!
A frog jumps in:
The water sound!
Basho 17th century Japan
