That mind was the light of the world
The world is a life within a universe in which we live and perceive
The world is the fruit of the time we have passed through, and our deeds
Pratītyasamutpāda—dependent arising
A mind that cannot be spoken of simply
Mind
Does the world bend to one's wishes?
Even my own mind differs morning and evening
And when we meet bearing spear and blade, there is only struggle
We are the pulse of life
To the one who taught us the beauty of life until life is spent
I offer my thanks
To the Buddha-nature spread throughout the universe
In deep
I study
