Poetry of Enlightenment: Poems of Ancient Ch'an Masters, Edited by Sheng-Yen
Song of Enlightenment: By Great Master Yung Chia of the T'ang Dynasty, Edited by Tripitaka Master Hua / Translated by International Institute for the Translation of Buddhist Texts

Who is without thought?
Who is without birth?
If there is really no production, there is nothing not produced.
Summon a wooden statue and inquire of it.
Apply yourself to seeking Buddha-hood; sooner or later you will accomplish it.
