HOA TÂM THE MIND FLOWER
Xuân về bên song cửa, Spring has arrived at my window
Lặng ngắm đóa hồng tươi Quietly I look at the fresh rose,
Từng nụ hoa rực rỡ, Her georgous petals are smiling
Lung linh mỉm miệng cười. Gracefully in the tender wind
Ta nhìn hoa yên lặng, In silence I’m contemplating,
Bỗng thấu lẽ nhiệm mầu… Suddenly I realize the deep meaning
Ta, hoa, nào có khác, I and the rose are very much the same,
Xin vẫy tay chào nhau. Let’s say hello by waving our hands.
Trong tâm ta hé nở, In my mind blooms a divine flower,
Bông hoa không sắc màu, So peaceful, serene and pure,
Hoa an bình tịnh lạc, Having neither form nor colour,
Thơm mãi đến ngàn sau… But its fragrance is felt all over …
Chắp tay ta cúi mặt, Joining my hands, I kneel down,
Quỳ lạy đóa Chân Như, Bowing with reverence my Mind Flower,
Xin nở bừng tâm thức, May it herald a breakthrough of my consciousness,
Cho hạnh phúc thiên thu… To the realization of the Ultimate Happiness…
