Music and lyrics: Venerable Heng Yin
When heaven gains the one
It’s clear and clean
When earth gains the one
She is so serene
When people gain the one
They are truly free
When all things gain the one
They come into being.
The way gave rise to one
And the one gave rise to two
Two gave rise to three
And all things came to be
If all of heaven’s mystery
You would like to know
First you have to learn how to make
The magic circle rose.
Return the many to the one
The rivers to the sea
Then you turn the one around
Till it’s round as it can be
When there is no obstacle
There can be no fear
So sit inside your magic circle
Now and disappear. |
