  • 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
