ပဲ့တင်သံ
စေတနာဟံ ဘိက္ခဝေ
ကမ္မံ ဝဒါမိ
ဟောရှိသည့်ဒေသနာ ။
ကိုယ်ပြုသည့်ကံ
ပဲ့တင်သံ
ကိုယ့်ထံသို့သာ
ပြန်လာမှာဖြင့် ဘယ်မလွဲ ။
သရုပ်သကန်
မဟုတ်မဟန်
အရှုပ်ကြံ
အမှန်မလုပ်လျှင်
ပစ္စုပ္ပန် သံသရာ ဝဲမှာ
မြုပ်တော့မှာပဲ ။

ECHO
One’s volition (cetana)
Bikkhus
Effects one’s action (kamma)
Per Buddha’s teaching
One’s deeds (physical, verbal, mental)
Like echo
Back to oneself
Returns for sure
Insincere
Fabricated
Devious thoughts
Not acting truthfully
In this world
and in samsara (rounds of rebirth)
will go deep down into the whirlpool .
