One Thought, a Mortal Life · Stubborn and Foolish by Nature · 24 / 102
· Seeking the Path
Making karma, the fruit of the immortal tree trembles; fallen into chaos, easy pickings for the demons. Raging, scraping out a stolen life, the poisons. Run, run, run — the in their grip, the spirit fed upon.
Thousand-eyed bodhi seed — it cannot save; boundless, without shore. Holding the mind's awareness still, not daring to drown — chase, chase, chase — the is lost, and memory grows base.
Glosses—
Lánggān: the fruit of the immortals' tree;
Thousand-eyed bodhi seed: the thousand-eyed bodhi is an incarnation of the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva.
