Sun Bu-er (c. 1119-1182 C.E.)

14 Poems: 1- Gathering The Mind 1

Before our body existed

Before our body existed,

Sun Bu-er one energy was already there

One energy was already there.

Sun Bu-er like jade, more lustrous as it'

Like jade, more lustrous as it's polished,

Sun Bu-er Like gold, brigher as it's refined

Like gold, brighter as it's refined,

Sun Bu-er Sweep clear the ocean of birth & death

Sweep Clear the ocean of birth and death,

Stay firm by the door of total mastery.

A particle at the point of open awareness,

The gentle firing is warm.
