三福道
The Threefold Path of Blessing
山の夜に 火はゆらぎ
杉の風が 道を問う
礼拝の手は やがてひらき
仏の道が 胸に灯る

三福道よ 徳を蒔け
如来・正法・聖衆へ
尽きぬ功徳 花となり

In the mountain night, the fire sways,
Cedar winds whisper and question the way.
Hands once folded slowly unfold,
The Buddha’s path in the heart takes hold.

O Threefold Path, sow seeds of grace,
To the Tathāgata, the Dharma, the Sacred Sangha’s place.
Unending merit blooms as light,
A flower rising toward Nirvana’s height.
