THE GREAT BELL CHANT (The End of Suffering)

May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos


Even in the darkest spots


Living beings are able to hear it clearly


So that all suffering in them cease


Understanding comes to their heart


And they transcend the path of sorrow and death.


The universal dharma door is already open


The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly


The miracle happens


A beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower


One single drop of this compassionate water


Is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.


Listening to the bell
I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve


My mind calm


My body relax


A smile is born on my lips


Following the sound of the bell


My breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness


In the garden of my heart


The flowers of peace bloom beautifully.
