notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
As a cloud that rises from the sea
Absorbing rain, the earth embraces,
So, like the sky, the sea remains
Without increasing or decreasing.
So from spontaneity that's unique,
Replete with the Buddha's perfections,
Are all sentient beings born, and in it come
To rest. But it is neither concrete nor abstract.
They walk other paths and so forsake true bliss,
Seeking the delights that stimulants produce.
The honey in their mouths, and to them so near,
Will vanish if at once they do not drink it.
Beasts do not understand the world
To be a sorry place. Not so the wise
Who the heavenly nectar drink
While beasts hunger for the sensual.
