[39] Right here it is eternally full and serene (from The Shodoka)

By Hsuan Chueh of Yung Chia / Yoka Genkaku
(665 - 713)

English version by Robert Aitken

 

Right here it is eternally full and serene,
If you search elsewhere, you cannot see it.
You cannot grasp it, you cannot reject it;
In the midst of not gaining,
In that condition you gain it.
