The Zen Bell
|
|
The Zen Bell (By Nhien Dao) (Translated by Tu Tam Hoang) The bell lightly reverberates at Truc Lam monastery At the meditation hall, all monks are gathered Learning and practice meditation require progression Once return to yourself and observe, the false thoughts immediately vanish Obviously, the practicing method follows the principle of Zen sect It's no different from the transmission of the Buddha When all minds join together, it sounds forever |

Forever, It's There
(By Tri Tri) (Translated by Tu Tam Hoang) Oh, Enyadatta! How foolish you are! Your head is here, but you keep looking for it In front of you, the truth is always marvelous Do you see! The green pine tree is still cheerful through the changes of four seasons |
|
Tathagata (Enlightenment) (By Tue Chieu) (Translated by Tu Tam Hoang) Tathagata is always complete And exists in all beings Because we have forgotton Tathagata , we suffer But when suffering ends, we remember Tathagata |
|
Tathagata, as same as thousands of dharmas, is Self awakening! Thus, the dharma is not dual That's all for the practicing So as the awakening |
