No Waiting Until

Yutang Lin

No waiting until matters arise to pray for others;
Stay in Bodhi without pauses in sleep or dreams;
With good will see through compassionate eyes;
Free from intentional efforts, just purely natural.

Comment:

Cultivate good wills without waiting till matters arise. Abide in Bodhi without intermission in sleep or dream. Whatever comes into sight is equally prayed for. Not enacting, but a natural response.
