下の露末の露もとの雫や when does stop to rollthose dewy pearls from fall?dripping drops of dew

玉になれ大玉になれけさの露 tiny precious pearlsinside a wonderful world!shiny morning dew

露の世の露を鳴也夏の蝉 in a dewy world  the dripping sound of dewdrops chirping cicada

露の世は露の世ながらさりながら dew evaporates  and all our world is dew… so dear  …so fresh …so fleeting

露の世や露の小脇のうがひ達 what a dewy world cormorant fishermen were covered by dewdrops

露の世の露の中にてけんくわ哉 in a world of dew and within every dewdrop a world of struggle

露の世や露のなでしこ小なでしこ dewdrops lay on big  and small pink colored cloves in this dewy world!

露の玉一ッ一ッに古郷あり many beads of dew adorn one by one my home in that old village

ー羊雲を追っていく牧よう犬のように blowing and howling chasing away clouds of sheeps like a shepherd dog

Buddha’s Nirvana,beyond flowers,and money. Buddhisms highest achievement, the attainment of Nir¬vana, cannot be gained through ritual alone, nor of coursecan it be bought through donations.
