Assimilation, Consummation

The universe,^[6] vast and indistinct,
A wheel of golden light.
The enlightened descend to the world,
Heaven and earth face the same direction.
The cosmos, clear and bright,
Assimilates to the light of Fa.
Consummate, fly and ascend,
Together return to heaven.

^[6]The Chinese word 乾坤 has two definitions: “heaven and earth” and “universe.” Here we use the second definition, “universe,” as the original Chinese text in line 4 uses 天地 to express the term “heaven and earth.”
