Amongst some poems of reminiscences.
ねがはくはしばしやみぢにやすらひてかゝげやせまし法のともし火
| negawaku wa shibashi yamiji ni yasuraite kakage ya semashi nori no tomoshibi |
I have but one request: That from these tracks of darkness for a while I might escape– O, I would raise high The lantern of the Law. |
Former Abbot Jien
