Lotus Garden from Lotus Garden by LOTUS UNDERCURRENT

[Verse 1]
Today again, on This Shore's main approach road
今日も此岸の　表参道で
Hungry ghosts are sizing up their prey
餓鬼が獲物を　見繕っている
Snared by the form that ought to be
あるべき姿に　とらわれた
They chase pigs grown fat on defilements
煩悩で肥えた　豚を付け狙う

[Verse 2]
A spider's thread can hang down anywhere at all
蜘蛛の糸は　何処にでも垂れるが
If you're bound, you may not even see it
とらわれの身だと　見えぬかもな
If you can accept things just as they are
あるがままを　受け入れられれば
What binds you loosens of itselfーthe thread appears
自ずとほどけて　糸は見えてくる

[Chorus 1]
Welcome to the Lotus Garden
ロータスガーデンへようこそ
Here, a garden where all conditioned things are impermanent
ここは諸行無常の香る庭
Even a single breath fades, leaving no scent
ひと息さえ　香り残さず消える
Any certain selfーleave it here, and go
確かな自我など　ここで諦めて行きな

[Verse 3]
"Pray hard and die, and you'll reach the Pure Land"
「拝み倒して死ねば　極楽浄土に行ける」
You talk as if you had seen the Far Shore
まるで彼岸を見た様な　口ぶりだな
"I do not knowーI have never died"
「まだ死んだことがないから　知らない」
The only truth from before business ate Buddhism
仏教がビジネスに喰われる前の　唯一の真実

[Chorus 2]
Welcome to the Lotus Garden
ロータスガーデンへようこそ
Here, a garden where all dharmas are without self
ここは諸法無我の行き交う庭
The self dissolves, leaving not even an afterimage
自我など　残像もなく消える
Any certain selfーleave it here, and go
確かな自我など　ここで諦めて行きな

[Bridge]
Unborn and undyingーthose who dwell in-between
生もなく死もなく　狭間に留まるものたち
A garden abiding between This and Far Shores
此岸と彼岸の　狭間に佇む庭
Unborn and undyingーthose who dwell in-between
生もなく死もなく　狭間に留まるものたち
A garden abiding between This and Far Shores
此岸と彼岸の　狭間に佇む庭

[Chorus 3]
Welcome to the Lotus Garden
ロータスガーデンへようこそ
Here, a place within reach of Nirvana's quiescence
ここは涅槃寂静に　手の届く場所
At the boundary of this world and the next
この世とあの世の境目で
Having seen it as it isーnow go on, go
明らめられたなら　もう行きな
