菩薩蠻

境   界

濃淡兩蕾出枝間，

青綠三昧潤宇寰，

隨緣弄遊舞，

不變自怙主。

若問梅花色，

學識在賢達。

待到無著時，

任運把玩持。

To the Tune of “Pu Sa Mahn”

Mind Realm

One dark, one pale, a pair of buds grow on the

branches

Light green, dark green, samadhi nourishes the world

Following karma, you lightly dance and float,

Immutably still, yourself an ancient Buddha.

You ask about the color of the plum blossom?

It is learning contained in virtue.

Wait until it is plucked, and without bonds

Then freely hold it and turn it in your hands
