Thinking over these matters, I begin to dream while resting on my meditation cushion. Awakened by a deer crying for his mate, I realize that within me the moon of “the unity of the triple truth” and “threefold contemplation in a single thought” has been shining brightly all along, but because the moon was covered by the clouds of deep ignorance I have suffered through the cycle of birth and death in the nine realms until today. My present realization is:

Even the clouds of ignorance
That spread over us
Would be dispersed
By the winds of Mt. Sacred Eagle
Filled with the sound of the Sacred Dharma.
