The Endless samsara * Again and again they sow the seed; * Again and again the sky-king rains. * Again and again the farmers plough the fields; * Again and again the land produces grain. * Again and again the beggars come and beg; * Again and again the generous donors give. * Again and again when many gifts are given, * Again and again the donors reach the heavens. * Again and again the dairymen milk the herds; * Again and again the lamb goes to its mother. * Again and again we weary and we toil; * Again and again the heedless come to birth. * Again and again comes birth,and dying follows; * Again and again we are carried to the grave. * Only by gaining the path for not-returning,is a person of wisdom not again reborn.
