Craving Is the Builder of This House
Craving is the builder of this house
Craving is the builder of this house

Through many a rebirth
In Samsara wandering
I sought but did not find
The builder of this house

How painful!
How sorrowful!
To be born again and again

Craving is the builder of this house
Craving is the builder of this house

O House-builder!
I see you at last
You will build no house any more
Your ridgepole shatters
Your rafters all fall down
My mind realizes the unborn
And craving comes
Craving comes
Craving comes to an end

Craving is the builder of this house
Craving is the builder of this house
