引导语 / Preface
慈悲 慈悲 —— 虚妄之镜
Compassion, compassion —— The Mirror of Illusion
Compassion, compassion —— The Mirror of Illusion
当虔诚沦为仪式，
When devotion becomes ritual,
When devotion becomes ritual,
信仰便成了可量化的功德簿。
Faith turns into a ledger of quantified merit.
Faith turns into a ledger of quantified merit.
我们叩首，我们布施，
We bow our heads, we give alms,
We bow our heads, we give alms,
却忘了慈悲本无相。
Yet forget: compassion has no form.
Yet forget: compassion has no form.

正文 / Poem
慈悲 慈悲
Compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion
是谁人的愚昧
Whose foolishness is this?
Whose foolishness is this?
沾染世俗的可悲
Tainted by the sorrow of the mundane world
Tainted by the sorrow of the mundane world
借口一堆
A pile of excuses
A pile of excuses
功德簿上生死富贵
In the ledger of merit — life, death, fortune, wealth
In the ledger of merit — life, death, fortune, wealth
贪婪是欲望的石碑
Greed stands as a stone monument to desire
Greed stands as a stone monument to desire
虔诚的叩拜
Devout prostration
Devout prostration
祈祷声吵醒魔鬼
Prayers that rouse the devils from slumber
Prayers that rouse the devils from slumber
慈悲 慈悲
Compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion
肆意妄为的虚伪
Hypocrisy running wild without restraint
Hypocrisy running wild without restraint
在轮回里数着功德几回
Counting merits through cycles of rebirth
Counting merits through cycles of rebirth
江边洒落些许米粒
Scattering a few grains of rice by the riverbank
Scattering a few grains of rice by the riverbank
竟是善男信女
Yet these are the pious men and women
Yet these are the pious men and women
口口称颂
Chanting in unison
Chanting in unison
不忍直视的余晖
The fading glow too painful to behold
The fading glow too painful to behold

小结 / Epilogue
慈悲不在经卷，而在未落的泪；
Compassion lies not in scriptures, but in tears yet unshed;
Compassion lies not in scriptures, but in tears yet unshed;
若心无悲悯，叩首亦如尘。
If the heart holds no mercy, even prostration turns to dust.
If the heart holds no mercy, even prostration turns to dust.
