Poem: My Heart is as Clear and Pure as Water


By Jing Zhi

My heart is as clear and pure as water
The world’s happenings are as empty and as illusory as dust
I am not in it
How can I be bothered by it

My heart is as clear and pure as water
Its purity not touched by any dust
I have come to know everything in the universe
The book of cultivation will be my companion forever

My heart is as clear and pure as water
In quietness, nothing is difficult
I have come to know the cause and effect of things
From there I have become selfless

My heart is as clear and pure as water
I have the courage to carry out my mission
And I shall return home with others
From there watching heaven and earth
