Besides 空山不見人，但聞人語響。（鹿柴）,
here are more of his Zen’s (憚) poetic 千古名句:

人閑桂花落，夜靜春山空。（鳥鳴澗）

大漠孤煙直，長河落日圓。（使至塞上）

月出驚山鳥，時鳴春澗中。（鳥鳴澗）

古木無人徑，深山何處鐘。（過香積寺）

行到水窮處，坐看雲起時。（終南別業）

江流天地外，山色有無中。（漢江臨泛）

竹喧歸浣女，蓮動下漁舟。（山居秋暝）

但去莫復問，白雲無盡時。（送別）

明月松間照，清泉石上流。（山居秋暝）

草枯鷹眼疾，雪盡馬蹄輕。（觀獵）

晚年惟好靜，萬事不關心。（酬張少甫）

深林人不知，明月來相照。（竹里館）

I am sure you would also like to see some of his paintings as well,
but we need to know that none of his original paintings survive.
There were copies of works attributed to him were also said to be
landscapes with similar qualities.
