aaa 
After Dark Time: 1900-2100 hours

The wild zen practitioner is cultivating to illuminate the dark doom.

When psychic power of inmost mind is connected to immeasurable time

There is no difference ever since hundreds of thousands of millions of ages from today.

Attempting to negotiate it with but responded with chirps and whirrs.

It turns the mind in absolute darkness.

No matter day or night, the mind rays shone the existence and non-existence.

This ignorant idiot is now called a Paramita.

(9 of 12 verses, by Ancient Chinese Monk Zi-Gong, Liang Dynasty)

十二时颂黄昏戌

狂子兴功投暗室。

假使心通无量时。

历劫何曾异今日。

拟商量,却啾唧。

转使心头黑如漆。

昼夜舒光照有无。

痴人唤作波罗蜜。
