Like a Mountain, Like an Empty Space

Those who practice should keep
their minds unmoving, like a mountain.
Let your mind be as vast as empty space.
Think of the Buddhadharma with wisdom,
like the sun and the moon.
Whether others say you are right or wrong, do not be swayed.
Do not judge what others do well or poorly, or interfere.
Whether good things happen or bad things happen,
keep your mind peaceful and unattached.
Live like a simpleton, like one who is disabled,
like one who is mute, blind, deaf, or like a child.
Then, sooner or later, all the delusion will disappear.
