The enlightened vision

                                 The sun never sets.

                                 It is only setting for you.

                                 It is rising somewhere else.

                                 The sun knows no setting.

                                 It is always rising, it is continuously rising –

                                 Each moment is a new birth.

                                 For you, it looks like the sun is setting;

                                 But for the sun, it is always rising

                                 And rising and rising.

                                 It is eternal rising.

                                 And so is the vision of an enlightened man.

                                 Life knows no death.

                                 Life has never known death.

                                 The sun never sets.

                                 Nothing ever dies.

                                 Death is improbable, impossible.

                                 Death exists not.

                                 If a man lives his life totally,

                                 And is not afraid to live,

                                 He will become every day

                                 More and more beautiful.
