May the sound of this bell  penetrate deep into the kosmos

‘Even in the darkest spots, living beings are able to hear it clearly.

So that all surfering in them cease, understanding comes to their heart ’

and transcend the past of sorrow and death ...

 

the universal dharma door is already  open 

the sound of the rising tide is heard clearly

the miracle happens

a beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower

one single drop  of this compassionate water 

is  enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers

 

Listening to the bell

I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve

my mind calm my body relaxt a smile is born on my lips 

following the sound of the bell,  my breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness

in the garden of my heart the flowers of peace bloom beautifully ...
