These Dark & Hungry Streets
Posted by: | CommentsTruth is, if I put my energy solely into one thing I would likely be rich by now
or maybe I would have something shiny I could point at
to validate my existence in accordance with this society I inhabit.
But like the sun I can not only shine one direction.
Look at all the miserable people…
& so day & night where do you remain?
Have you not noticed, truth can not be contrived?
& so I simply keep my window open.
We all make our choices friend!
Would I dare sacrifice one ray of light for a lifetime of dark & hungry self-gain?

Prayer of Liberated Union
Posted by: | CommentsPrayer of Liberated Union
~/!\~
May we all grow with bottomless compassion*
I reach inside to I speak with the voice of total unity.
Today is a new day – alive & completely free.
Open up & answer your own suffering.
See that you are the revolution.
You are the cosmos & the grain of sand.
A new day on the horizon.
May we be kind to all living beings.
Now & forevermore,
May this simple smile ring through eternity,
to heal our beloved World.
May we all see clearly.
May our hearts & minds be liberated.
~/!\~
To you I bow
with the endless tear of Quan Yin
flowing forth from the unborn eye of Bodhidharma..
& to you who touch these words,
I bow one final time
never to rise again.

Original Mind ~Hui-hai
Posted by: | CommentsMind has no color,
Is neither long nor short,
Doesn’t appear or disappear;
It is free from both purity and impurity;
It was never born and can never die;
It is utterly serene.
This is the form of our
Original mind,
Which is also our original body.
- Hui-hai (8th cent)
Commentary:
True nature is neither true nor untrue, neither nature nor not nature..
You are the sun…
You are wind, the blade of grass..
You are nothing but delusion…
Nothing but truth searching for delusion.
Warning!
These Zen Master are great fools…
If you wish to be somebody in this World,
turn around & run from Hui-hai’s words!
I tell you; run fast my friend!
Run fast & never look back!

I call not me…
Posted by: | CommentsI climbed the vine & clutched the leaves
I jumped back down & dug to the root of the tree
Now today lost & free
I laugh & laugh,
For what was found I call not me!

doesn’t know it to be so….
Posted by: | CommentsThe ego-self is not separate from divinity,
the ego just doesn’t know it to be so..
There is no divinity,
the divinity just doesn’t know it to be so.
