More about Ogura Hyakunin Isshu No. 95 - Saki no Daisojo Jien

Poem No. 95 from the Japanese poetry collection Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (see https://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/hyakunin/hyakua.html). According to https://100poets.com/2012/12/08/compassion-poem-number-95/, "... the last line of the poem is noteworthy because it is a direct quote from the founder of Tendai Buddhism in Japan ... So, for many, this has been interpreted as Jien’s vow as a monk to carry on this tradition of compassion for all beings in a world that is transient and marked by suffering."
