**************************************************
Everything you see is an apparition of the unseen.
The forms are impermanent, yet the essence is changeless.
Every sight will return to the unseen.
Every utterance will end in the original silence,
Do not cling to the mirages,
The source they come from is eternal, expanding,
Spreading, bearing endless lives and endless joy.
What causes the sorrow?
When the source is within
And this whole universe is arising from it.
