The Great Bell Chant


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 come 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 springs to our mountains
and rivers.

Listening to the bell
I feel the afflictions in me
begin to dissolve
my mind calm
my body relaxed
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.
