Tang Ngo bai phap tieng anh

Ru ta ngam ngui

The Blessed One said:

One would not chase after the past,
nor place expectations on the future.
What is past
    is left behind.
The future
    is as yet unreached.
Whatever quality is present
one clearly sees    right there,
        right there.
Unvanquished, unshaken,
that's how one develops the mind.
Ardently doing one's duty today,
for -- who knows? -- tomorrow
    death may come.
There is no bargaining
with Death and his mighty horde.
Whoever lives thus ardently,
    relentlessly
    both day and night,
has truly had an auspicious day:
So says the Peaceful Sage.
