Midnight. No Waves,
no wind, the empty boat
is flooded with moonlight

One instant is eternity;
eternity is the now.
When you see through this one instant,
you see through the one who sees.

Midnight. No Waves,
no wind, the empty boat
is flooded with moonlight

with moonlight
with moon

Comprised of the combined works of:  Dogen Kigen (1200-1253) Japan [first half of song], and Wu-men Hui-k'ai (1183-1260) China [second half].
