Lotus
And he who discerns the dharmas as similar in nature to dreams and illusions, As being as devoid of a core as a bunch of plantains, as being similar to an echo, And he who knows that that, too, without exception, is the nature of the triple sphere, And who discerns the Blessed Rest as being neither bound nor free, And by whom all dharmas, being the same, and being devoid of a variety of appearances and natures, Are not looked to, nor is any dharma perceived, He, in his great wisdom, sees the whole Dharma-body, For there is no triad of vehicles, but only the One Vehicle. "All dharmas are the same, all the same, ever quite the same." Knowing this, one understands auspicious and immortal extinction. -- Chapter Five - Medicinal Herbs, p.119 (Hurvitz, from the Sanskrit)
