The Dharma 🕭
Body 🕭
Is shining brightly 🕭
As the day dawns. 🕭

In stillness we sit 🕭
Our hearts are 🕭
At peace 🕭
A smile is on our lips. 🕭

This is a new day
We vow to go through it in mindfulness 🕭
So the Sun of Insight 🕭
Can rise 🕭
And shine in 🕭
Every direction. 🕭

Noble sangha, diligently,
Bring our minds into meditation.

The Dharma 🕭
body 🕭
is bringing 🕭
morning light. 🕭

In concentration 🕭
our hearts are 🕭
at peace 🕭
a half-smile is born upon our lips. 🕭

This is a new day
We vow to go through it in mindfulness. 🕭
The sun of wisdom 🕭
has now risen, 🕭
shining in
every direction. 🕭

Noble Sangha, diligently
bring your mind into meditation.

El cuerpo 🕭
del Dharma 🕭
iradia luz 🕭
en la mañana 🕭

En concentración 🕭
el corazón 🕭
está en paz 🕭
una ligera sonrisa brota en nuestros labios 🕭

Es un nuevo día 🕭
nos proponemos vivirlo en plena consciencia 🕭
el sol 🕭
de la sabiduría 🕭
ya se alza 🕭
iluminando en toda dirección 🕭

Noble sangha con diligencia practiquemos la meditación
