From October’s Zen words in Japanese site of Rinzai-Obaku Zen.
We originated from the same element as the heaven and the earth. We are one with everything in the universe.
天地与我同根、万物与我一体
臨黄ネットの十月の禅語から。
天地と同じところから自分は生じ、万物は自分と一体である
Nō Ranginui rāua ko Papatuanuku ngā mea katoa o te ao
Hei tā te kōrero o te marama i te wāhanga Hapani o te Rinzai-Obaku Zen.
Mā ngā pūmotu e waihangatia ō tātou tinana ka ngā whetū katoa waihangatia.
