Awakening the Buddha-Mind
The Buddha-Mind
Is nothing other than the mind
That urges service on behalf of the world and its people
Before our own affairs.
Because we focus on ourselves, this takes a struggle,
But when the Buddha-Mind is awakened
Even hard effort changes into something worth living for.
