Nothing Seen
There is no seer or anything seen,
No speaker or anything spoken.
The appearance of buddhas and also their teachings
Are merely what we imagine.
Those who view such things as real,
Do not see the Buddha
Nor do those who imagine nothing.
Only those who transform their existence.
- from the Lankavatara Sutra, as translated by Red Pine
