2319. Your own unparalleled reward
O my body’s stupidity,You do not need any other punishment.
You are your own pounding punishment.
O my vital’s impurity,
You do not need any other punishment.
You are your own pounding punishment.
O my mind’s insincerity,
You do not need any other punishment.
You are your own pounding punishment.
O my heart’s insecurity,
You do not need any other punishment.
You are your own pounding punishment.
O my soul’s luminosity,
You do not need any other reward.
You are your own unparalleled reward.
