Oh thou endless Great Way, broad and flowing in profound tranquility,
Where hatred happens, let there now be love;
Where weakness occurs, fortitude;
Where doubt arises, faithfulness;
Where despair crushes, hopefulness;
Where darkness encroaches, enlightenment;
Where sadness lingers, joyfulness.
Encompassing Transcendence,
inspire now/here kindfulness lest we seek only after our own consolation;
comprehension, lest we seek only after being understood;
friendship, lest we seek only after being desired.
For it is in openness that we discover.
It is in restoring that we are restored,
and it is in resoluteness that we are embraced by Absolute Awakening.
THIS is… this IS… THIS IS.
