MAGIC CIRCLE

Words and music by former Bhikshuni Heng Yin (Loni Baur)

When heaven gains the one
It's clear and clean
When earth gains the one
She's so serene.

When people gain the one
They're truly free
When all things gain the one
They come into being.

The Way gave rise to one
And the one gave rise to two
Two gave rise to three
And all things came to be.

If all of heaven's mysteries
You would like to know
First you have to learn how to make
The Magic Circle close.

Return the many to the one
The rivers to the sea
Then you turn the one around
"Till its round as it can be.

When there is no obstacle
There can be no fear
So sit inside your Magic Circle
Now, and disappear.

When heaven gains the one
It's clear and clean
When earth gains the one
She's so serene.

When people gain the one
They're truly free
When all things gain the one
They come into being.
