Traditionally attributed

Text

Panshan addressed the assembly: "The three realms have no dharma. Where will you seek the mind? The four elements are originally empty. Where does the Buddha dwell? The heavenly truth does not move, perfectly still. Approach and I will reveal it to you." A monk stepped forward and bowed. Panshan said, "Too late."
