The everyday mind: that is the way.<\/i>
Buried in vines and rock-bound caves,<\/i>
Here it\u2019s wild, here I am free,<\/i>
Idling with the white clouds, my friends.<\/i>
Tracks here never reach the world;<\/i>
No-mind, so what can shift my thought?<\/i>
I sit the night through on a bed of stone,<\/i>
While the moon climbs Cold Mountain.<\/i>
-Verse 23, Words from Cold Mountain, Han-Shan, 9th century<\/p>\n

(This isn\u2019t necessarily the verse in the painting – it\u2019s just a verse I like.)<\/p>\n

From Wikipedia:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hanshan<\/b> (Chinese<\/a>: \u5bd2\u5c71; pinyin<\/a>: H\u00e1nsh\u0101n<\/i>; literally: “Cold Mountain”, fl.<\/i> 9th century) was a legendary figure associated with a collection of poems from the Chinese Tang Dynasty<\/a> in the Taoist<\/a> and Chan<\/a> tradition. No one knows who he was, or when he lived and died. <\/p>\n
