Awakening Never Apart was originally written in Traditional Chinese, to distill the ultimate essence of the Buddha-Dharma into concise gāthā verses within a small book to keep close at hand. To let more regions and language communities share in its Dharma blessings, we are steadily completing multilingual editions, so that everyone may approach this Jewel Mirror of the Awakened Heart in their mother tongue—and practice “Awakening Never Apart” in everyday life.

 
 

Let Great Awakening Transcend Languages and Borders.

Our vow is to let the light of Great Awakening shine throughout the Dharma realm. Therefore, grounded in the Traditional Chinese original of Awakening Never Apart, we are steadily releasing editions in different languages. Each edition, while faithfully preserving the teachings of the original text, also attends to local culture and idiom—so readers not only “understand,” but can recognize within their own lived experience the true reality that awakening is never apart from body and mind, and practice Awakening Never Apart in daily life.
