You are not the first here.
You are not the first to be born.
You are not the first to die.
You are not the first here.
Now, at the moment of waking,
Your mind is clear.
If it is clouded by hunger,
You can wipe it clean.
But if you become hunger,
There will be nothing to wipe.
Life is hunger.
Death is hunger.
Hunger is a dream.
Wake up! Now!
This is the sutra of waking. We hold them down and repeat it three times. Then we let them go. You can see why the response rate is so low.
I wish I could tell them what my dad told me:
You're safe and you're at home.
I tied you up, and when everything is okay, I will untie you.
Until then, press the green button for pain and the red button to call me.
