天下无心外之物。如此花树，在深山中自开自落，于我心亦何相关？
Nothing in this world subsists outside the mind. But this flowering tree, blooming and falling by itself in the deep mountains, how does it concern my mind?
你未看此花时，此花与汝心同归于寂。你来看此花时，则此花颜色一时明白起来。便知此花不在你的心外。
When you are not looking at this flower, the flower and your mind return to stillness together. When you come to look at this flower, its color becomes apparent all at once. Thus you know the flower was never outside your mind.
La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un cœur d'homme. Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux.
