Awakening

Yutang Lin

Step by step, stepping on the line between life and death,
No time to glance aside but to watch over purity.
Remaining pure does not mean static idling;
Moment after moment, pray to Buddha for suffering beings.

Comments:

Wake up! Life and death are only a thin thread apart. Let go of all concerns, except to watch over the original purity. Purity should be put to significant uses; constantly pray to Buddhas for blessing on behalf of all kinds of suffering beings.
