Poem

Zen masters say "Don't seek the truth - just drop your opinions:
"Without Name and Form

Well versed in the Buddha way,
I go the non-Way
Without abandoning my
Ordinary person's affairs.
The conditioned and
Name-and-form,
All are flowers in the sky.
Nameless and formless,
I leave birth-and-death.
P'ang Yün (龐蘊 Hõ Un)"

Well-stated, and hard to parphrase.

"Detachment" I guess might be the one best word.
