Birds in the Heart - Mongolian Yurt

If you wish to abandon suffering, attain happiness,
and gain freedom,
it is necessary to enlighten your mind and heart.
The mind without enlightenment is like a
Mongolian yurt that is very tightly wrapped.
Inside the yurt, you do not see the sky, the ocean,
or the beautiful green land.
When the mind and heart are not open,
how can you be free of strain and strife?
Hence, we should enlightened our minds and hearts,
and let them be as bright and clear as the sun.
Under a brilliant and clear sky we can see everything
without barrier or obstruction.
