This sacred space
Cannot be forgotten:
In this silence
I can hear the truth
Piercing darkness,
Welcome is the pain
Of reality…
Overcoming the peril
Of a secret dream,
Haunting in its desire
For substance,
Driven, driving, drive on
No more
Om Ma Ni Padme Hum:
Free my heart of selfish desire,
Take away the urge to consume:
Love is the gold of a truly wealthy soul…
Never the want to have that of another,
Teach me to be humble,
That I may follow the righteous,
Deliver me from obstinate pride,
That I may lead by great example
Guard me from harmful anguish...
Uncover the modesty
I hold dear in my heart
In this silence,
The truth is uncovered, yes,
But I am still too ignorant
To trust myself
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo:
Open my heart,
Spill forth compassion,
Filling my hands to heal,
Always to give,
Receive,
Devine…
But never to covet nor pursue…
These arms are those
To reach out--
