Morning meditation — To those searching for ultimate reality.

First one should say that everything exists;
Later when they understand the meaning
And are free of attachment, then teach the absence.’

Grasp at samsara and nirvana;
But those who see ultimate reality possess
No pretentions of world and its’ transcendence.’

‘Both samsara and nirvana,
Neither of these two exists;
The thorough understanding of cyclic existence —
This is referred to as “nirvana.”’
