Where mere mortals fear to tread,
this sacred Love True
stands high above human lust,
for but a heartbeat,
this Love knows no common bounds.
At birth we suffer;
in life we suffer also;
yet when your time draws
to a close so suddenly,
forget regret and expire.
Nothing lasts, I know this Truth;
Birth is followed by
Life, and Life by Death again!
Yet life is both joy
and pain, no profit, no gain!
What is this True Love
but the heart-mind unfolded,
at peace with the world
and with the Buddha, Dharma,
and the Sangha? It is Love.
When my body becomes dust,
and my mind a memory lost,
where is the soul? What of karma?
In death my past actions move on.
For what is karma but this Love
so precious that knows no bounds?
Namu Amida Butsu!
