YOU ARE AS THE YELLOW LEAF.
THE MESSENGERS OF DEATH ARE AT HAND.
YOU ARE TO TRAVEL FAR AWAY.
WHAT WILL YOU TAKE WITH YOU?
YOU ARE THE LAMP
TO LIGHTEN THE WAY.
THEN HURRY, HURRY.
WHEN YOUR LIGHT SHINES
WITHOUT IMPURITY OR DESIRE
YOU WILL COME INTO THE BOUNDLESS COUNTRY.
YOUR LIFE IS FALLING AWAY.
DEATH IS AT HAND.
WHERE WILL YOU REST ON THE WAY?
WHAT HAVE YOU TAKEN WITH YOU?
YOU ARE THE LAMP
TO LIGHTEN THE WAY.
THEN HURRY, HURRY.
WHEN YOUR LIGHT SHINES PURELY
YOU WILL NOT BE BORN
AND YOU WILL NOT DIE.
AS A SILVERSMITH SIFTS DUST FROM SILVER,
REMOVE YOUR OWN IMPURITIES
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
