英訳
In only one character,
in only one sound, and
in only one single flower as well,
there exists the universe, considered as
a harmonious and orderly system―the cosmos.
Oh likewise, you be a man of the cosmos
someday in the course of time.

英訳
To carry on living implies a having in mind
something as noble and exalted as humanity never to be lost.
Whatever a difficult predicament you may be caught in,
it is imperative that you keep on possessing warm tears full of affection toward anyone and everyone around you.
