Happiness, joy, and peace are the essence of life.
They may be surrounded by quiet light and a cold touch,
The scent of tranquility, the control of calm.
Urgent emotions soften in the pursuit of peace,
The image of joy lingers in its wake.

The feeling of river water awakens the soul,
A cold stillness settles in the mind.
The mind remains cool—that is peace.
A cold mind reveals the presence of peace.
Peace keeps the mind cool, and the head calm.

To speak, to act, to behave, to control by restraint—
The stream of brightness remains.

Peace dwells in the corners of the mind,
In the heart of nature, in the rhythm of joy,
Felt gently in the whisper of the wind.

A thought rises from thoughtless thinking, overwhelmed.
In the sky, the mind blends with the color of the air.
The paddy tree dances with the wind and sun.

The focus of vision floats among the sky's lanterns,
And all beings possess the power to swim
In the quiet lining of peace.
