The Moon is the Hub of the Mind

Update: 2023-01-06

Description

Before the cliffs I sat alone
the moon shone in the sky
but where a thousand shapes appeared
its lantern cast no light
the unobstructed spirit is clear
the empty cave is a mystery
a finger showed me the moon
the moon is the hub of the mind

-from The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain (Hanshan)
