bye-bye for now

[Guest guest]

Hello and goodbye,

 

i'll be back some other day, its time for me to reduce the flood of

email, half of which i find i simply cannot read in the time i allow

myself for internet.

 

my teacher did tell me 'less internet, more Guru Rinpoche' at one point,

and i find i keep getting lured back into the net. perhaps its been

useful, but i don't think i'm contributing much to this forum.

 

i hope this is a step into getting my practise into shape again.

 

i'll leave with what i consider one of my better pieces of poetic

experiments. it was written 2-3 years ago. i have a more recent piece,

but i admit i like this one. you may not. that's ok.

 

 

------

Phenemonon, vast as space,

Dharmatu is your base!

Arising and falling

like the ocean's tide cycles,

 

How could i have clung

to your illusions of

permanent changelessness?

 

Even me is part of this,

 

Limitless in reality,

Clinging to limit

i wander in Samsara.

 

So blind! so blind!

 

as vast as space is the

changeless base of primordial

awareness.

 

Smaller than the atoms of energy

is the changeless base of primordial awareness.

 

NOW is the buddha!

NOW is the heartlight seen.

 

there is nothing to do but be kind.

 

My teacher's eyes are the sun shining,

Golden as Shakyamuni's pure form.

 

Like an image in a screen of a computer,

if i pull the power, it is gone,

 

such is phenomenal existence.

so too am i.

 

so is the hearts darkness, like the illusion of this image.

Settle down into NOW and see what is true.

 

There lies me,

there lies you,

 

Neither one of these is true!

 

to my precious teacher

whom i can never repay,

with the mechanism of

illusion-reality i offer to

you clouds of Samantabhadra's offerings.

 

Please confer your blessings!

 

 

maitri,
