Desire is sorrow

The mind is desire

End desire and stop the mind

End desire and stop the mind

 

Speak what’s to be spoken

Touch what’s to be touched

Just taste, smell and see diversity

Just taste, smell and see diversity

 

Overcome desire

Let bondage cease

Let the seed of desire be burned in your heart

Let the seed of desire be burned in your heart

 

Be sure to stoke the fire

With self-control and peace

What’s to desire, there is nothing but the self

What’s to desire, there is nothing but the self

 

The world is an empty reed

Experience pure void within

Experience pure void without

Experience pure void without

 

Where knowledge of truth arises

Desires will cease

Even as the sun rises and darkness flees

Even as the sun rises and darkness flees

 

Desire is sorrow

The mind is desire

End desire and stop the mind

Stop the mind and liberation you’ll find
