The Wheel of the Law - Ho Chi Minh

THE WHEEL OF LAW

turns without pause.

After rain, good weather.

In the wink of an eye

The universe throws off

its muddy clothes.

For ten thousand miles

the landscape

spreads out like a beautiful brocade.

Light breezes, smiling flowers.

High in the trees, amongst

the sparkling leaves

all the birds sing at once,

men and animals rise up reborn.

What could be more natural?

After sorrow comes happiness.
