HS - No True Reality


Things have no true reality;
Because of wrongly grasping them as real
Do ordinary people therefore
Revolve in the prison of birth and death.

Things expressed by words
Those of lesser wisdom wrongly discriminate
And therefore create barriers
And don't comprehend their own minds.

If one doesn't comprehend one's own mind,
How can one know the right path?
Based on misconstrued intellect
They increase all difficulties.

Not seeing all things are empty,
Always suffering the pains of birth and death,
This is because such people
Cannot yet have the pure objective eye.

In the past I experienced suffering
Because I didn't see Buddha.
So one should clarify the eye of reality
And see what is to be seen.

If one can see the Buddha,
One's mind will have no grasping;
Such a person can then perceive
Truth as the Buddha knows it.

If one can see Buddha's teaching,
One is said to have great knowledge;
This person has pure eyes
And can see into the world.

No view is seeing
Which can see all things;
If one has any views about things,
This is not seeing anything.

The nature of all things
Has no origin and no end.
How wonderful the Great Guide:
Awakened himself, he can awaken others.
