" May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the
cosmos
Even in the darkest spots living beings are able to hear it
clearly
So that all suffering in them ceases,
understanding comes to their heart
And they transcend the path 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 the 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 relaxed
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."
~ "The End of Suffering", featuring spoken word from Thich Nhat
Hanh, the singing voice of Vietnamese monk, Phap Niem, and music by
Gary Malkin, is excerpted from the book and CD set, "Graceful
Passages: A Companion For Living and Dying," which was produced by
Gary Malkin and Michael Stillwater.
