Master Shen Hui's 1-Hour Zen Hymn to Meditate, Relax, and Chill: Om Mani Padme Hum

Shen Hui was a Buddhist monk from southern China who lived from 684-758 AD, and was one of the first writers from the school that became Zen. The lyrics of this video are all composed from his writings on the nature of enlightenment. I hope that people may find the themes of this song instructive, calming, or inspirational in some way.
I made this video upon the request of a friend, who asked that I make a longer loop of the video. You can find the original, 4-minute video here:

Lyrics:
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
亦步亦趨隨順佛行
Step by step, follow the path of the Buddha.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
聽這天籟般和聲
Listen to this harmony from Heaven.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
在苦海的岸邊回眸
At the shore of the sea of bitterness, turn back.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
願人間祥和太平
May there be peace on Earth.
今生對紅塵的眷戀
Life is filled with worldly attachments.
忘記了輪迴的痛
Forget the pain of samsara [the cycle of reincarnation].
塵不染塵何來有塵
Dust is not stained by dust. Where is the dust?
空即是色色即是空
Form is so-called emptiness; emptiness is so-called form.
輕舟萬帆青山
A myriad of small boats and the green mountains.
遠近皆是幻影
Near and far, everything is an illusion.
天地之間紅塵有愛
In the mortal world there is love between Heaven and Earth.
菩提路上心中有情
There is love in one’s heart on the path to enlightenment.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
亦步亦趨隨順佛行
Step by step, follow the path of the Buddha.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
聽這天籟般和聲
Listen to this harmony from Heaven.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
在苦海的岸邊回眸
At the shore of the sea of bitterness, turn back.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
願人間祥和太平
May there be peace on Earth.
忘記了輪迴的痛
Forget the pain of samsara.
願人間祥和太平
May there be peace on Earth.
Interlude
今生對紅塵的眷戀
Life is filled with worldly attachments.
忘記了輪迴的痛
Forget the pain of samsara.
塵不染塵何來有塵
Dust is not stained by dust. Where is the dust?
空即是色色即是空
Form is so-called emptiness; emptiness is so-called form.
輕舟萬帆青山
A myriad of small boats and the green mountains.
遠近皆是幻影
Near and far, everything is an illusion.
天地之間紅塵有愛
In the mortal world there is love between Heaven and Earth.
菩提路上心中有情
There is love in one’s heart on the path to enlightenment.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
亦步亦趨隨順佛行
Step by step, follow the path of the Buddha.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
聽這天籟般和聲
Listen to this harmony from Heaven.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
在苦海的岸邊回眸
At the shore of the sea of bitterness, turn back.
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽
Om mani padme hum.
願人間祥和太平
May there be peace on Earth.
