Ode to Jesus Christ -- Zhi Tong (Disciple)

Jesus Christ the savior rescued the living beings in the world of turbidities.

He sacrificed his life, to serve as an example of excellence.

Enduring huge pain nailed on the Cross, he warned people against being attached to the physical body.

It is those of stupidity that have such attachment.

He was resurrected after the sacrifice.

Giving his sermon on a mountainside, he preached the gospel.

Each and every word he uttered is real and devoid of falsity, and was spoken like lion’s roar.

Pronouncing the wonderful Dharma with one sound, he woke people up from dreaming in the world of turbidities.

He left as legacy to us two treasures, which are repentance and praying.

He exhorted us to always reflect within, as the sins are from the mind.

Repent over the sins, which are committed with every single thought we give rise to.

Those who atone the offenses are exempt from all sins, and can cross over the sea of birth and death.
The offenders shall then gain release.
Face it if it is wrong. To reform is part of cultivation, and what Jesus is about.
Pray, and we devote ourselves to the Lord;

Stay in accord with conditions, and we put it down.

Put it down, and we gain liberation.
If there is no impediment in our mind, we shall leave distorted dream-thinking far behind.
Those who can make it are true disciples of Jesus.

Let us pay homage to the Saint.

God never give the sinful up.

Face the Lord with utmost sincerity is the practice of Jesus.

We should always cherish God in our heart, so that Jesus’ sacrifice is not in vain.
