Waking Up

Life is beautiful and precious.

Let us fully take it in:

Life is short and uncertain.

Let it penetrate our hearts:

Life is fragile and fleeting.

Yet —

No limit to greed and arrogance!

No limit to worries and stupidity!


Every flower fads away.

Every leaf withers away.

Every life passes away.

Don't be afraid of death,

Afraid of not really living!

Don't feel sad about death,

Feel sad about ignorant life!


A Zen contemplation:

Death is certain, the time is uncertain, what to do?

It's not about death, but how we live...

Let it wakes us up...

Death is certain, the time is uncertain, what to do?
