- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha. Chant by Ma Prem Geeta (Japanese).
- The sutra
- The mind which is unattached
- To all things in the world,
- Does not think, does not feel,
- Is fluid and flexible.
- All Buddhas and bodhisattvas
- Achieve buddhahood and nirvana
- As a result
- Of the merciful vow.
- The Buddha-nature
- Means non-birth, non-extinction;
- Then know that illusion
- Is birth, death, reincarnation.
- Though you practise virtue,
- Do not grieve that misfortune arises;
- The guilty karma
- Of the previous world
- Is vanishing away.
- When they are not two things,
- They are not one thing,
- And the wind
- In the Indian-ink picture
- Is cool indeed.
- Why are people called Buddhas
- After they die?
- Because they don't grumble any more,
- Because they don't make a nuisance
- Of themselves any more.
