I grew up a peasant boy but my mind was bright and clear. One day in the marketplace I happened to hear a man recite a sutra. It was the Buddha's word that set my heart on fire, the moment that I heard. He told me his master was living in the north, teaching in a monastery with one thousand monks. I made up my mind I would journey to his feet, and ask him to lead me to the one reality. For thirty days I walked hardly taking food or rest All that kept me going was my passion for the quest When I arrived there, he asked me why I came.
To become a living Buddha was the answer that I gave. He knew my heart was true, so he called me late one night And read the Diamond Sutra to me in the candlelight When I heard about a mind that alights upon no fame Suddenly I came to a great awakening Who would have known that my mind is intrinsically pure? Who would have known that my mind is forever free from change? Who would have known it gives rise to this manifested world Who would have known I would find I am a The Who would have known that my mind is intrinsically pure? Who would have known that my mind is forever free from change?
Who would have known it gives rise to this manifested world Who would have known I would find Buddha is the light in my own mind Who would have known that my mind is intrinsically pure? Who would have known that my mind is forever free from change? Who would have known it gives rise to this manifested world? The Buddha is the light in my own mind. Subtitles by the Amara.org community
