' Dreams and Phantoms '...

Rest and unrest derive from illusion;

with enlightenment, attachment to liking and disliking ceases.

All dualities come from ignorant inference.

They are like dreams, phantoms, hallucinations—

it is foolish to try to grasp them.

Gain and loss, right and wrong;

finally abandon all such thoughts at once.
