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.
