Life is no different from nirvana,
Nirvana no different from life.
Life’s horizons are nirvana’s:
The two are exactly the same.

Life is no different from nirvana,
Nirvana no different from life.
Life’s horizons are nirvana’s:
The two are exactly the same.

Just as these arms and legs
Are seen as limbs of a body,
Why are embodied creatures
Not seen as limbs of life?
