"Show me your original face before your mother and father were born."

You cannot describe it, you cannot picture it,

You cannot admire it, you cannot sense it.

It is your true self, it has nowhere to hide.

When the world is destroyed, it will not be 

   destroyed.

- Mumon, The Gateless Gate #23 (1288)
