- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha. Chant by Ma Prem Geeta (Japanese).
- The sutra
- The moon is the house,
- The mind is the master in it:
- When we understand this,
- It is only a transitory world
- We live in here.
- Deeply thinking of it,
- I and other people --
- There is no difference,
- As there is no mind
- Beyond this mind.
- Every spring when you see
- The cherry blossoms bloom,
- Feel with pain
- The brevity of your life!
- The original man
- Must return to his original place;
- Why seek then
- The needless Buddha?
- The morning dew
- Flees away,
- And is no more;
- Who may remain
- In this world of ours?
- We pray for our life of tomorrow,
- Ephemeral life though it may be;
- This is the habit of our mind
- That passed away yesterday.
- Do not take it to heart;
- The real way
- Is one, itself as it is;
- There are not two, or three.
