Synopsis
Waves form and subside continuously,
With no beginning and no end.
But the waves always return to their origin,
Thus the ocean and the waves are one.
The ocean is vast and has many waves.
After a big storm with big waves,
The ocean remains.
I say, “Buddha-nature is the ocean.
The human world is represented by the waves.
You and I are roaming in the waves of the human world.
We will return to our origin.
The ocean.”
