Thus have I heard:

 

                        Life is suffering

 

                        In every gain there is loss

                             and gain in every loss

 

                        That fundamentally,

                             there is only Vast Emptiness

                             with nothing Holy in it

 

                        Nowhere to go

                        Nothing to do

                        Forever to do it

 

                        Thus there is freedom

 

                        With no-thing to lose,

                        Bold ventures beckon.
