to all things in the world,
does not think, does not feel,
is fluid and flexible.
all buddhas and bodhisattvas
achieve buddhahood and nirvana
as a result
of the merciful vow.
the buddha-nature
means non-birth, non-extinction;
then know that illusion
is birth, death, reincarnation.
though you practise virtue,
do not grieve that misfortune arises;
the guilty karma
of the previous world
is vanishing away.
when they are not two things,
they are not one thing,
and the wind
in the indian-ink picture
is cool indeed.
why are people called buddhas
after they die?
because they don't grumble any more,
because they don't make a nuisance
of themselves any more.
