Summary

Description
Eesti: Laul Tormilinnust, ehk minu elust.

Oh, noored vennad võidelge Ja aega kalliks pidage. Sel ilmas raste elada, Kes õigust tahab kõnelda.

Siin seisan, praegu, teie ees, Kolm raamatut on minu käes. Neist olen tarkust õppinud, Ja palju teadust korjanud.

Ei milgil kombel enam ma Või nende valet uskuda; kes püha kirja segavad Ja seega rahvast petavad.

Mu elu eesmärk õige usk, Et täidan kõik, mis ütleb käsk. Mind usu pärast vaevatud, Ja piinajatest piinatud.

See sündis siis, kui olin ma Kord ilmas mundri kandia. Mul meeles seisis püha käsk, Mis kallim, kui kuld, hõbe, vask.

Mind sellepärast peteti Ja viimaks vangi mõisteti. Siis seisin selle maja sees, Kus raudsed trellid akna ees.

Seal palusin ma Jumalat, Ööd, päevad, oma Isandat, siis lugu nii sai muudetud, Et ma sain kloostri saadetud.

Üks kord ma kloostris viibisin, Mu kõnest mungad kihasid. Siis hullu-särki ömmeldi, Ja mulle selga topiti.

Mind pandi musta tõllasse Ja viidi hullumajase, kuus kuud siis lõhkujatega Ma pidin seltsis viibima !

Mind sai seal läbi katsutud Ja vaimuhaigeks tunnistud, seepeale lahti lasti mind, Kui puurist vabaks saanud lind.

Ma ilmas kaugel ringi käind, Ja uskudega tutvust teind. Ma vihkan valet, nõuan tõtt, See peale pakun teile kätt.

Sest ütlen teile tõega Ja palun kõige väega, Et nõudke endale haridust, Ja minge välja Paabelist.

Sest Paabel on suur segadus, Kus ajet vale õpetus. Mis tõega ühte liidetud Ja seega rahvast toidetud,

Oh, noor ja vana õppige Ja kirjast välja uurige, Mis koda see peab olema, Kus Jumal tahab elada ?

Eesti esimene Buddha munk Karl A. M. Tõnnisson, sünd. 8. augustil 1883. a., Baala jõe kaldal Liivimaal. H.HEMPEL & Riga. 3698

Approximate English translation:

Song of the Stormbird, about my life.

Oh, young brothers, rejoice And cherish the time. In this world difficult live, Who wants to speak justice.

Here I stand, now, before you, With three books in my hand. From them I have learned wisdom, And gathered much scientific knowledge.

No more, by any means, can I Believe the lies of those Who confound the holy book, And thus deceive the people.

My life's aim is truth, To do all that the commandment saith. For one's truth's sake I was afflicted, And tormented by tormentors.

It was when I was once in the world Wearing a uniform cloak. A holy commandment stood in my mind, More precious than gold, silver, copper.

For this I was deceived, and at last condemned to prison. Then I stood within that house, With iron bars at the window.

There I prayed to God, Night, day, my Father Lord, Then the story was so changed, That I was sent to the monastery.

Once I stayed in the monastery, My speech made the monks tingle. Then the madman's shirt was stitched, And put on my back.

They put me in a black carriage And took me to the mentally defild building, For six months with the busters I had to stay !

There I was tested and found ill, Then I was let loose, like a bird released from a cage.

I have wandered far and wide, And made acquaintance with the faiths. I hate falsehood, I insist on the truth, I offer you my hand.

For I say to you in truth, And beseech you with all my might, Claim an education, And get out of Babylon.

For Babylon is a great confusion, Where false doctrine drives. Which with the truth is joined together, And thus the people fed,

Oh, young and old, learn, And find out from the Scriptures, What kind of a house shall it be, Where God wills to dwell ?

Estonia's first Buddha monk Karl A. M. Tõnnisson, born. August 8, 1883, on the banks of the Bala River in Livonia.
