Dark paths of ignorance- Zen Master Hakuin Ekaku

  

Lost on dark paths of ignorance 

we wander through the six worlds, 

from dark path to dark path we wander, 

when shall we be freed from birth and death?

-Zen Master Hakuin Ekaku, Song of Meditation
六道轮回因，

只缘愚痴暗。

漫漫长夜路，

何时了生死。

-白隐慧鹤禅师《坐禅和赞》
