Provisions

“What binds the provisions for a journey?

What’s the vault of wealth?

What drags a person around?

What in the world is hard to give up?

With what are ordinary beings bound,

like birds in a snare?”

“Faith binds the provisions for a journey.

Majesty is the vault of wealth.

Desire drags a person around.

Desire in the world is hard to give up.

Ordinary beings are bound by desire,

like birds in a snare.”
