Penetrate deep into the cosmos
Even in the darkest spots
living beings are able to hear it clearly
so that all suffering in them cease
understanding comes to their heart
and they transcend the path of sorrow and death
Listening to the bell
I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve
My mind calm
My body relaxed
My breath brings me back
to the safe island of mindfulness
In the garden of my heart
the flowers of peace bloom beautifully."
Thich Nhat Hahn
