Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Verse in Praise of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (Issue 306)

Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Composed by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

Consecration of the Fundamental Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha

The Buddha is neither great nor small;
Sentient beings are neither many nor few.
Ultimately awakening to the self-nature, empty yet not void.
The vast space and the great earth dissolve in the immediacy of realization.
