Saṃsāra means to be born and to die without beginning and end, and in this ongoing cycling, there are five kinds of paths.
In these five kinds of pathways, there is no happiness, just as there is no sweet scent in excrement.
The suffering in it is constant and as if produced from contact with fire, weapons, ice, salt, and so on.
In order to pacify this [suffering], the cloud of compassion showers down the great rain of the genuine dharma.
In these five kinds of pathways, there is no happiness, just as there is no sweet scent in excrement.
The suffering in it is constant and as if produced from contact with fire, weapons, ice, salt, and so on.
In order to pacify this [suffering], the cloud of compassion showers down the great rain of the genuine dharma.
- Dans le cercle sans commencement des morts et des renaissances,
- les êtres suivent cinq voies
- Mais, de même qu’il n’y a pas de bonnes odeurs dans les excréments,
- il n’y a jamais de bonheur dans les cinq destinées.
- Cette souffrance permanente née de la rencontre
- avec les armes, le feu, le sel et d’autres supplices encore
- S’apaise quand, des nuées de la compassion, tombe
- une abondante pluie de vrai Dharma.
