Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Spoken and Yet Unspoken (Issue 291)

Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Composed by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

The Gatha of Speaking Dharma

The Buddhadharma’s wondrous principles are basically unspeakable.
After enlightenment, even one word is too many.
Only because of living beings’ heavy confusion,
That they are spoken as skillful expedients.
