Lyric:
Why would you ask about something
Right in front of you
Only cause you don’t see your nature
When you first embark the Path
Your awareness won’t be focused
But you see a light brighter than the sun
Your remaining bonds
Will suddenly come to an end
Your true perspective will be revealed
While you’re dreaming at night
Lying in stillness and darkness
If it appears as though in broad daylight
Don’t be startled it’s your own mind
About to reveal itself
We don’t know who we are
Something so hard to fathom
The mind is always there
You just don’t see it
All things you perceive
And everything in three realms
Whatever you know
Comes from the mind
You see the moon and stars in all their clarity
As if you were walking in the dark
If you see your nature, you don’t need to read Sutras
The workings of your mind are about to end
When you can’t tell apart white from black
How can you escape birth and death?
Don’t use it to look, to worship, to invoke
Recite Sutra Shastras, to keep or break percepts
Once you know the nature of anger, joy is empty
And you let them go, you free yourself from Karma
(Don’t lose yourself in the cycle that never ends)
Don’t use it to look, to worship, to invoke
Recite Sutra Shastras, to keep or break percepts
Once you know the nature of anger, joy is empty
And you let them go, you free yourself from Karma
(Don’t lose yourself)
If you can’t see your nature
Quoting Sutra Sermons
Will be of no help
To do good or evil
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
(Don’t use it to look, to worship, to invoke
Recite Sutra Shastras, to keep or break percepts)
Breathe in
Breathe out
(Once you know the nature of anger, joy is empty
And you let them go, you free yourself from Karma)
Breathe in
Breathe out
(If you can’t see your nature
Quoting Sutra Sermons
Will be of no help
To do good or evil)
Breathe in
Breathe out
Seeing
Hearing and knowing
Are completely empty
Your anger, joy and pain is like
That of a puppet
You search but you won’t find a thing
Let go of what’s not yours to define
There’s no use putting up a fight
Go beyond language
Go beyond thought
Go beyond language
Go beyond thought
Go beyond language
Go beyond thought
Go beyond language
Go beyond thought
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
Don’t bother about definition
