Essays in Zen Buddhism, First Series, by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki
The Golden Age of Zen: Zen Masters of the T'ang Dynasty, by John C.H. Wu

Something dropped! It is no other thing;
Right and left, there is nothing earthy:
Rivers and mountains and the great earth,--
In them all revealed is the Body of the Dharmaraja.
