Just get rid
Of that small mind
That is called "self",
And there is nothing
In a thousand million worlds
That can harm or hinder you.
How delightful it is
To make all space
Our dwelling place!
Our hearts and minds
Are perfectly at ease.
from Zen and Zen Classics - Volume One by R. H. Blyth, The Hokuseido Press/Heian International, San Francisco, 1982
