Shan-hui

Shan-hui
有物先天地 Something there is, prior to heaven and earth,
無形本寂寥 Without form, without sound, all alone by itself.
能爲萬象主 It has the power to control all the changing things;
不逐四時凋 Yet it changes not in the course of the four seasons.
Bodhisattva Shan-hui (善慧), better known as Fu Ta-shih (傅大士) (497-?)
(The Golden Age of Zen 254, 322 n.25)
