Unborn and Indestructible ❂

  words by Thích Nhất Hạnh, music by Br. Phap Linh

Unborn and Indestructible

Refrain:

Unborn and indestructible ×2
Beyond time and space ×2

This body and these feelings
were transmitted to me
by my mother and my father
by my teachers, my friends and all living beings.

  refrain

And that which is transmitted
is no less than the transmitter
and I who receive the transmission,
what am I but that which is transmitted to me.

  refrain

I am my mother, I am my father
I am my teachers, my friends
I am one and yet am many
I am none, I am all, no beginning, no end.

  refrain

This body is not me, these perceptions are not me
and I am not limited by this body
I am one with all of life
I have always been free.

  refrain
