When silent illumination is complete,The lotus will blossom, andThe dreamer will awaken. The hundred rivers flow to the ocean,The thousand mountainsFace the loftiest peak. Like the goose preferring milk to water,Like a busy bee gathering pollen,When Silent IlluminationReaches the ultimate,I carry on the original tradition. This practice is called Silent Illumination.It penetrates from the deepest to the highest.
