Mind, cut by the sword of emptiness
Reveals the true way, the correct way
   the empty way.

Thoughts, like thick fog, cover beautiful sky.
Sun comes, cuts through the fog,
Emptiness comes, cuts through the mind.

Be like the sword of emptiness,
   simple and true,
But with purpose.
The sword gives you empty mind,
   to see beyond yourself,
You exist now,
   for other beings.
