Buddha: His Life, his Doctrine, his Order c8.181

c8.181

Open thou, O Wise One, the door of eternity,
Let be heard what thou, O Sinless One, hast discovered.
Who stands above high on the mountain's rocky summit,
His eye looks afar over all people.
So mount thou also, O Wise One, up where on high
Far over the land stand out the battlements of truth,
And look down, Painless One, on mankind,
The suffering (creatures), whom birth and old age torture,
Rise, rise, thou valiant hero, rich in victories,
Go through the world, sinless preacher of the path,
Raise thy voice, O sire; many shall understand thy word.'"
