1.
Wayfarer Weepseer
In wandering the deepest waters of the Fulfiled Way
Found the five Self-formations are equally formless
And was freed, wholly rent from all suffering and shackles
Thus he spoke:
2.
Starling,
Form is emptiness;
Emptiness is form;
Form itself is emptiness;
Emptiness is itself form;
So it is with feelings, thoughts, habits, and awareness;
Starling,
All teachings and all things are marked by emptiness;
Not arising, not dying,
Not filthy, not pure,
Not gaining, not losing,
3.
That is why in the midst of emptiness,
Feelings, thoughts, habits, and awareness are all without inherence;
Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and thinking are all without inherence;
And their sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touchings, and thoughts are all without inherence;
Ignorance, and its cessation,
Volition, awareness,
Conception, sentience,
Experience, feeling,
Craving, clinging,
Becoming, living
And even dying, and all of their cessations
Are all without inherence;
4.
Suffering, its origin, its end, and even the way are without inherence,
Even wisdom, and attainment themselves are empty of it;
Since nothing can be attained, the Wayfarer has already Fulfilled the Way:
And the veil upon the mind is lifted;
And there exists no fear nor fret;
And divorced from the pandaemonium of dreams and thoughts;
Finally arrives on the other shore
5.
The Awakened, past, present, and future, Fulfil the Way
And achieve perfect, transcendent, enlightenment!
And thus we know: The Fulfilment of the Way
Is the godliest sooth, and the brightest sooth;
Unsurpassed, and peerless;
Ready to rid and wholly rend one from suffering;
So really, truthfully, without futility;
Let us sing the Fulfilment of the Way:
Gone
Gone
Further
Gone further
To the other shore
I am!
