A Breeze From Pure Land ~ Ojodo Kara No Kaze

A Breeze From Pure Land
"Ojodo Kara No Kaze"

Please don’t cry before my grave …. 
That’s not where I am. 
Nor am I sleeping for eternity

See…

I am already part of the breezes 
Numbering a thousand.

I am part of the light

That brightens this world,

Like a diamond glittering in the snow,

Like the sun that coaxes seeds to sprout.

And in the fall, I become the gentle rain 
That nurtures all…

When you open a window in the morning,
I am the breeze 
That causes your hair to flutter,

And at night I am the star that watches over your sleep. 
So please … don’t cry before my grave.  
That’s not where I am. 
I am not dead; 
I have been born anew.
