Vimalakirti



By killing the culprit klesa
Is his boldness unsurpassed.
By defeating four demons
He plants his triumphant banner as a bodhimandala.
Though he knows there is neither birth nor death
He is reborn to show himself to all,
Appearing in many countries
Like the sun seen by everyone.
When making offerings to countless
Buddhas in the ten directions
He does not discriminate
Between himself and them.





The Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra translated by Charles Luk (Shambhala, 1990, p. 88)
