Children of the Triple World
don't do what isn't right
who falls short is scorned
who goes too far isn't suffered
all the world's deluded people
stick together like cooked millet
they don't see the carefree man
on his own beyond their reach
go back to the source right now
let the Three Worlds rise and fall
swim in the River of Suchness
don't drink the Water of Darkness
