EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET NEEDS A HOME,
EVEN BIRDS, RATS AND INSECTS NEED A NEST.
WE ALL NEED A HOME TO LIVE,
SO WE HELP EACH OTHER TO BUILD OUR HOME IN THE VALLEY.
WE MAKE MUD HOUSES, AND PLANT FRUIT, FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES.
WHEN EVENING COMES WE SIT IN FRONT OF THE KITCHEN ENJOYING OUR FOOD TOGETHER.
EVEN IF ONLY A MODEST HOME, IT FEELS PEACEFUL AND FREE.
MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
TODAY YOU MAY WANDER ANYWHERE ON EARTH, SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME.
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR BROTHER MONK IS AT HOME,
TAKING CARE OF ALL THE PLANTS IN THE GARDEN.
AND BROTHER IS ALWAYS WAITING FOR EVERYONE TO RETURN HOME,
HOPES ALL OF YOU WILL RETURN HOME SOMEDAY,
TO OUR LITTLE HOME IN THIS PEACEFUL VALLEY,
TO LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF FROGS, AND WATER RUSHING,
AND SMELL SOME GOOD COOKING FROM OUR KITCHEN.
