Amongst some poems of reminiscences.
とくみのりきくのしらつゆよるはをきてつとめてきえんことをしぞおもふ
| toku minori kiku no shiratsuyu yoru wa okite tsutomete kien koto o shi zo omou |
The Law teaches that White dewdrops on chrysanthemums (Listen) Fall at night (Arise from slumber) And vanish with the dawn (Go to prayer, all will die)– That is what I feel. |
Former Abbot Jien
