- Layman Pang (c. 740 - 808) de El Corazón Iluminado

-Mis asuntos diarios son relativamente comunes u ordinarios; pero estoy en total armonía con ellos. No me apego a nada, ni rehúso nada; en ningún lugar hay un obstáculo o conflicto. ¿Qué me importa acerca de la riqueza o el honor? Incluso las cosas más pobres brillan.
Mi poder milagroso y mi actividad espiritual: Saco agua y cargo leña.
- Layman Pang (c. 740 - 808) de El Corazón Iluminado

“My daily affairs are quite ordinary;
but I'm in total harmony with them.
I don't hold on to anything, don't reject anything;
nowhere an obstacle or conflict.
Who cares about wealth and honor?
Even the poorest thing shines.
My miraculous power and spiritual activity:
drawing water and carrying wood. ”
- Layman Pang (c. 740 - 808) from The Enlightened Heart

When the mind is at peace,
the world too is at peace.
Nothing real, nothing absent.
Not holding on to reality,
not getting stuck in the void,
you are neither holy nor wise, just
an ordinary fellow who has completed his work.
