notes

synopsis

Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha. Chant by Ma Prem Geeta (Japanese).

The sutra

"We come into this world alone,

We depart alone" --

This also is illusion.

I will teach you the way

Not to come, not to go!

We eat, excrete, sleep, and get up;

This is our world.

All we have to do after that

Is to die.

I shan't die, I shan't go anywhere,

I'll be here;

But don't ask me anything,

I shan't answer.

Whatsoever it may be,

It is all part of the world of illusion,

Death itself

Not being a real thing.

Should you wish to know the way

In both this world,

And that other,

Ask a man of mercy and sincerity.

A monk asks master Pai-chang,

"Who is the Buddha?"

Pai-chang answers,

"Who are you?"
