as an Shodoka

Right here it is eternally full and serene (from The Shodoka)

le Hsuan Chueh of Yung Chia / Yoka Genkaku (665 - 713)

Leagan Béarla: Robert Aitken


Right here it is eternally full and serene,
If you search elsewhere, you cannot see it.
You cannot grasp it, you cannot reject it;
In the midst of not gaining,
In that condition you gain it.

Díreach anseo is buanlán é agus is maith mar atá!
Cuardaigh in áit eile é agus ní fheicfidh tú é.
Ní féidir breith air ná cur ina choinne;
I lár an neamhghnóthaithe -
Is sa staid sin a ghnóthaítear é.
