Asceticism and Enlightenment1

This law and the heart are mastered 通達本法心

So there is no law and all is law. 無法無非法

It is the same as not yet being enlightened. 悟了同未悟

There is no heart and there is no law. 無心亦無法

- Jikji, Volume 1 -

* Interpretation

The first line states that one has mastered the law and the heart and the following three lines reveal the details of what has been learned. First, it is understood that there is no law, but also that there is nothing that is not a law. Second, it is understood that coming to enlightenment is the same as not being enlightened. Third, it is understood that there is no heart and there is no law.
