I τ daget in dat osten,
de maen schînt averall;
wo weinich wêt mîn lêveken,
wor ick benachten schal.
The day is breaking in the east,
the moon shines everywhere;
little does my sweetheart know where I shall pass the night.

I am just an empty vessel
saling the great sea.
Forms arise and disappear.
Change is just a principle
no words describes the mysterious one.
How can I forget
that this moment
and all existence
is perfect
and
without flaws.

I have arrived
I am home
in the here
in the now
I am Solid
I am free
in the Ultimate
I dwell
Thich Nhat Hanh

The Long Road Turns to Joy: Guide to Walking Meditation
The world has no constant values, events has no constant guide.
When others act, I am still; When others talk I listen. If you know your nature, you’ll have few troubles; if you know your destiny, you won’t worry.

This means “complete, unsurpassed, perfect enlightment.” Notice, though, that the sutra first says the bodhisattva has nothing to attain and that, because of having nothing to attain, he attains complete liberation. You can’t attain liberation the way you attain a 1968 Camaro or D-plus on a math test. You can only attain liberation by clearly seeing there is nothing to attain.

Is there a difference between yes and no?
Is there a difference between good and evil?
Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense!
Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox.
In spring some go to the park, and climb the terrace,
But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am.
Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile,
I am alone, without a place to go.
Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing.
I am a fool. Oh, yes! I am confused.
Others are clear and bright,
But I alone am dim and weak.
Others are sharp and clever,
But I alone am dull and stupid.
Oh, I drift like the waves of the sea,
Without direction, like the restless wind.
Everyone else is busy,
But I alone am aimless and depressed.
I am different.
I am nourished by the great mother.
