homage to the buddha, dharma, sangha treasures!
how auspicious!
the beginning of spring! how auspicious!
the one house of the ancestral teachers and lineage!
how auspicious!
the buddha-dharma prevailing widely! how auspicious!
how auspicious!
the monastery gate prospers! how auspicious!
when many disciples assemble to meet themselves
and to encounter the moment,
the world comes and honors our way.
how auspicious! how auspicious! How auspicious!
the beginning of spring! how auspicious!
how auspicious! the founding of this monastery!
eihei! how auspicious!

the first day of spring
