The Buddha’s eye reminds us to gaze at ourself to see how
Samsara gives us much but takes more away, so we keep wanting.
What is power when we are not really free and not even know it?
What is wealth when we are poor in what truly enriches us.
What are titles when our books are copied pages or empty?
What is wealth when we are poor in what truly enriches us.
What are titles when our books are copied pages or empty?
What is knowledge when it blinds us from what frees us?
What is faith when we look to others what is deep within?
What is love when we fear to say it, to show it, and let it die?
What is faith when we look to others what is deep within?
What is love when we fear to say it, to show it, and let it die?
The world is our body and speech: let it be beautiful and true.
The mind is our universe: boundless space and open heavens.
The mind is our universe: boundless space and open heavens.
Wisdom is present to the passing present, learning to change,
Just as we breathe in, so we breathe out, presently at peace,
To be born, to live, to die, life is this very moment – now.
Just as we breathe in, so we breathe out, presently at peace,
To be born, to live, to die, life is this very moment – now.
