ritual of kukai (trials of tetsumonkai)

lyrics

scythe slays sword
a state of divine strength has cut
the spring blossoms before their time
dead man watching me
from a temple in the distance

safe but guilty
disturbed
robes of a holy man not always so holy
through suffering
torturing the body the perfect the mind

perfecting self denial
entombed alive covered and seated
intact in death
the mind is no more
the body must know
my body must know

a suicide
bark of pines
starvation
soul with sight made clearer

rinse your mouth and wash your hands
calm in mind
faith in dharma
originating in greed
ignorance
products of my own misdeeds
I repent
in pure faith
awaken
cross over death

in pure faith I awaken the mind to crossover the sea of birth and death
I take refuge in the dharma
