Free of all desire
He never loses his generous spirit
Nor the quiet smile on his lips
He eats four go of unpolished rice

If there's a tired mother in the west
He goes to her and carries her sheaves
If someone is near death in the south

If there's strife and lawsuits in the north
He demands that the people put an end to their pettiness
