Description:
有緣佛出世，無緣佛入滅。處處化眾生，猶如水中月。
Under the right conditions, the Buddha is born into the world;
Without such conditions, the Buddha then enters nirvana;
Liberating sentient beings everywhere,
He is like the moon in the water.
Without such conditions, the Buddha then enters nirvana;
Liberating sentient beings everywhere,
He is like the moon in the water.
