Radiate.

Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind and created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with a corrupt mind,
suffering follows,
As the wheel follows the hoof of an ox pulling a cart.

Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind and created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with a serene mind,
happiness follows,
As surely as one's shadow.

One should dwell and act in the village,
Like a bee extracting honey from the flower
But leaving the color and fragrance intact.

Pay no attention to harsh words uttered by others.
Do not be concerned with what others have or have not done.
Observe your own
actions and inactions.

It is unwise to do things that bring regret
And require repentance,
To cause suffering for oneself
And a weeping and tearful face.

It is wise to do things which do not require repentance
But bring joy and fulfillment,
Happiness and delight.

The few cross over to the far shore.
The many merely run back and forth fruitlessly
Along the side of the stream.

But only those who follow the carefully taught law
Can cross to the other shore,
Beyond the grasp of death,
so hard to overcome.

Let the wise man shun the cauldron of confusion,
And proceed on the path of light.
Let him leave the comfort of home,
Forsaking sensual pleasures,
Freeing himself from all obstacles,
Delighting in seclusion
(Not an ordinary man's choice),
And devote himself to cleansing the blemishes of the mind.

Those who have carefully cultivated their minds
In tune with the elements of enlightenment--
Who, without grasping,
delight in detachment,
Cleansed of all corruption and therefore
shining brightly,

Send forth brilliant light.
