One moon shines on all kingdoms and continents. One rain nourishes a mountain's rivers, grass, and trees. One thunder awakens the confused minds of the whole land. One principle mastered makes all the difference. One final call puts an end to all doubts. One all-embracing mind: the vast emptiness. One thought of compassion benefits all beings.
