文月・7月の詩
横田南嶺老師揮毫、坂村真民さんの詩です。
円覚寺山内・黄梅院の山門下にある掲示板にて、実物はご覧になれます。
All life on Earth lives and lets live,
surrounded with a deep affection
bestowed by something invisibly great.
It is the joining of your hands
in appreciation of knowing this miraculous benevolence
that will, if only just a little, reduce the misery and cruelty
born of reciprocal hatred and killing.
