Live up to the Tathagata, live up to your Qing Dynasty.
I used to think that feelings would damage Sanskrit,
I'm afraid you can't leave the whole city when you enter the mountain.
The world is safe,
Live up to the Tathagata.
The poem "Don't Live Up to the Tathagata, Don't Live Up to Your Feelings" was written by Cangyang Jiacuo, which embodies his contradiction and struggle between love and faith. As a sentient and righteous living Buddha, Cangyang Jiacuo is full of contradictions in the face of feelings and religious beliefs. He doesn't want to betray his love and faith. So he can only find a balance between the two, hoping to remain loyal to Buddhism and live up to his beloved.
The translation of the poem "Live up to the Tathagata, Live up to Your Qing" is very close to the original intention, expressing the poet's inner contradictions and struggles. Among them, Tathagata refers to Buddhism, and she refers to the people the poet loves. Through this sentence, the poet expressed his ambivalence of not wanting to betray Buddhism and not wanting to disappoint his loved ones. The word "live up to" also expresses the poet's hope to find a balance between the two, so as to maintain his loyalty to Buddhism and live up to his beloved people.
