Come to Hakubai

Where the air is fragrant

The water pure

And flowers bloom in the clear sky.

Come to Hakubai

The Way is hard to find.

The more you seek it, the more it will elude you

If you don’t try with your whole being

You’ll never find it.

Come to Hakubai

Where the stones talk

The trees walk,

And flowers bloom in the clear sky.
