Joy of leaving household life! Joy of leaving household life! / Arising from beginningless time, one delighted in all attachments. / In this life, meeting the good, one severs bonds with kin; / Instantly casting off worldly sentiments, one cuts off all evils (cuts off all evils). / Arousing body and mind, relying on noble learning; / Eliminating fetters, the golden blade comes down. / Shaving the head and donning the robes, one feasts on precious medicine (feasts on precious medicine); / Harboring Dharma joy, doubly leaping with delight. / Who sleeps heavily in the long night? / Today, pure in body, one rejoices in Great Awakening (rejoices in Great Awakening)! / Joy of leaving household life! Joy of leaving household life! / In all matters, nothing disturbs. / Reaching the age of twenty, one meets an upādhyāya; / Reverently receiving the śīla, one encounters the pure altar (encounters the pure altar). / Cultivating concentration and wisdom, realization is not difficult; / Awakening is like lapis lazuli, clear inside and out. / Wondrously likened to a lotus flower, viewed freely in full (viewed freely in full); / Known as a disciple of Śākya, the Dharma-door is broad. / In and out, back and forth, the unhindered path; / Liberated and at ease, one realizes nirvāṇa (realizes nirvāṇa)! / Return! The jeweled gate opens; / Truly seeing Amitābha ascend the jeweled throne. / Bodhisattvas scatter flowers and proclaim, “Excellent!” (proclaim, “Excellent!”) / Looking upon the jeweled grove, a hundred flowers are fragrant; / Water, birds, and tree groves recite in five tempos; / In plaintive, compassionate voices they praise the Dharma King (praise the Dharma King). / Jīvaṃjīvaka birds face mandarin ducks; / Parrots and kalaviṅkas expound the wondrous Dharma, / Constantly lamenting sentient beings residing in realms of suffering (residing in realms of suffering).
