notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha. Chant by Ma Prem Geeta (Japanese).
The sutra
Whatever runs counter
To the mind and will of ordinary people
Hinders the law of men
And the law of Buddha.
I would like
To offer you something,
But in the Daruma sect
We have nothing at all.
As Ikkyu does not think of his body
As if it were his body,
He lives in the same place,
Whether it is town or country.
The mind of man is without sound,
Without odour;
He who answers when called
Is nothing but a thief.
If we say "There is,"
People think "There is";
But though it answers,
It is not,
This mountain echo.
If we say, "There is not,"
People think "There is not,"
Though it answers,
The mountain echo.
