5.5

"The Buddha is like amṛta;
One never tires of hearing him.
If the Buddha were to be indolent,
There would be no benefit to anyone.
The sea of birth and death in the five destinies
Is like falling into filthy mud;
Because one is entangled by craving and desire,
Being without wisdom, one is deluded by the world.
In past lives he practiced uprightness,
Giving with impartiality;
Therefore the mark between his eyebrows
Illuminates without limit.
His eyes are like the early moon,
Clearly seeing the lands of the ten directions,
Able to cause people's minds and eyes—
All who see him—to be filled with great joy."
