Randomly Mad

色は匂へど 散りぬるを
我が世誰ぞ 常ならん
有為の奥山 今日越えて
浅き夢見じ 酔ひもせず

Although its scent still lingers on

the form of a flower has scattered away

For whom will the glory

of this world remain unchanged?

Arriving today at the yonder side

of the deep mountains of evanescent existence

We shall never allow ourselves to drift away

intoxicated, in the world of shallow dreams.

諸行無常

是生滅法

生滅滅已

寂滅為楽

All acts are impermanent

That’s the law of creation and destruction.

When all creation and destruction are extinguished

That ultimate stillness is true bliss.
