Without Beginning

"It is without beginning,

unborn, and indestructible.

It is not green nor yellow,

and has neither form nor appearance.

It does not belong to the categories

of things that exist or do not exist,

nor can it be thought of in terms

of new or old. It is neither long nor short,

neither big nor small, for it transcends all limits,

measures, names, traces, and comparisons."

- Huang Po (? - 850)
