法苑珠林 22.41

22.41

Past blessings and causes ripened, / Now receiving deliverance into ordination. / Casting off the secular, discarding the dust, / Transcendent, rejoicing in awakening. / Wisdom resides in calm emptiness, / Wondrous, not to be reckoned by numbers. / Stirred by the time, encountering the Way, / Severing bonds and entangled affairs. / Diligent in longing to learn, / Partaking of this sweet dew (amṛta). / Meritorious work not falling away, / Stirring the sages to bestow their favor and protection. / Solemn is the spiritual deportment; / Reverent is the divine stride. / Between that and self there is no other; / Companions of the Dharma meet together.
