< This body is not me.
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.
I have never been born,
and I have never died.
Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind.
Since before time, I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death are a game of hide- and seek.
So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.
We meet today.
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms of life.
~By Thich Nhat Hanh, Chanting and Recitations from Plum Village. Page 188.
我身非我
肉身并不禁锢我
我的生命无始无终
我不曾生
也不曾去
缀满星星的高天和阔海,源于我奇妙的,真实的心识
无始以来,我本自在。
出生与死亡,我们不过是穿梭在一道又一道庄严的门槛之间。
出生与死亡是一场捉迷藏游戏。
那么,跟我一起欢笑,
握住我的手,
我们彼此暂别,
暂别,为了尽早再次相逢。
今日我们相逢。
明日将再次相逢
我们将无时不刻不相逢。
在每一个生命形态中。
