Classes - Melbourne

Spring 2010

 

Mind creates both
Samsara and Nirvana
Yet there is nothing much to it -
it is just thoughts.
Once we recognize that thoughts are
empty, the mind will no longer have the
power to deceive us.

May I be a guard for all those
who are protectorless,
A guide for those who journey on
the road,
For those who wish to go across the
water,
May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.

For all those ailing in the world,
Until their every sickness has been
healed,
May I myself become for them
The doctor, nurse, the medicine
itself.
