Rest in natural great peace This exhausted mind Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought, Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves In the infinite ocean of samsara. Rest in natural great peace. NYOSHUL KHEN RINPOCHE

When I walk beside her
i am the better man
when I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
and when I climbed down to be set free
she took me in again


there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world


when she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
when I see her pin her charm
she just throws it back again
once I sought an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her blues back again


there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world


when I go to cross that river
she is comfort by my side
when I try to understand
she just opens up her eyes


once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bound down and flew away the hours
of her garden and her sun
so I tried to warn her
I'll turn to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it's still coming down on me


there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world


-Eddie Vedder
