Chan is a giant tree
Rich nutrients, water, and sun
Make it grow and blossom beautifully
.
Chan is a tiny of blade grass
It roots and spreads in any place on earth
Flourishing and blossoming like the tree
.
Chan is actually all life
Rooting deeply and growing abundantly
Flowering according to time and space
.
Whether Chan exists or not
Whether it flourishes or decays
Need not be our worry
.
Chan is life itself
Growing where life exists
Flowering naturally with season
.
