Though little he recites the Sacred Texts, But puts the precepts into practice, Ridding himself of craving, hatred and delusion, Possessed of right knowledge with mind well-freed, Cling to nothing here or hereafter, He has a share in religious life. The Prajnaparamita is a great spiritual mantra, a great wisdom mantra, a supreme mantra, an unequalled mantra. It destroys all suffering, because it is the incorruptible truth. I have nothing left to translate Into the figures of night Or the pale geometry Of the fire-birds. If I once had a wagon of lights to ride in The axle is broken The horses are shot.
Nothing is hidden.
When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men. Where there is beauty, there is ugliness. When something is right, something else is wrong. Knowledge and ignorance depend on each other.
