- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- When Chuang Tzu was about to die,
- His disciples began planning a grand funeral.
- But Chuang Tzu said:
- "I shall have heaven and earth for my coffin;
- The sun and moon will be jade symbols
- Hanging by my side;
- Planets and constellations
- Will shine as jewels all around me,
- And all beings will be present
- As mourners at the wake.
- What more is needed?
- Everything is amply taken care of."
- But the disciples said:
- "We fear that the crows and kites
- Will eat our master."
- Chuang Tzu replied:
- "Well, above ground I shall be eaten
- By crows and kites,
- And below ground by ants and worms.
- In either case I shall be eaten --
- So why are you favoring the birds?"
