GenjoKoan, by Dogen - http://www.zenki.com/GenjoKoan.htm
"
When all things are the Buddhadharma, delusion and enlightenment exist,
training exists, life and death exist, Buddhas exist, all-beings exist.
When all things belong to the not-self, there are delusion, no enlightenment,
no all beings, no birth and decay. Because the Buddha's way transcends
the relative and absolute, birth and decay exist, delusion and enlightenment
exist, all-beings and Buddhas exist. And despite this, flowers fall while
we treasure their bloom; weeds flourish while we wish them dead."
