"Huike Thinking" by Shi Ke (10th century).

Today’s quote is from Dazu Huike (487-593), the twenty-ninth patriarch of Ch’an Buddhism.  This is it (as translated by John McRae):

Originally deluded, one calls the mani-pearl a potsherd
Suddenly one is awakened—and it is [recognized] as a pearl
Ignorance and wisdom are identical, not different.
