Lotus Sutra
A dense cloud,
spreading over everywhere
covering the whole
great-thousandfold world,
pours down its rain
equally at the same time.
From the rain of one cloud
each according to the nature
of its kind acquires its development,
opening its blossoms and bearing its fruit.
Though produced in one soil
and moistened by the same rain,
see how different
are all these plants and trees.
