Eyes
veiled by a past
Skewed
by hopes and fears
Bodies
cloaked in mortality
Minds
amazed by birth
Terrified
by death.
Feverishly
we cling to life’s treasures
Satisfying
fleeting desires
Imperceptibly
departing from
A
radiant awareness
Always
abiding.
Apply
effort
Settle
in an awareness
Luminous
and knowing
Melt
away icebergs of
Delusion
and ignorance
Keenly
navigate life’s imminent perils
Abandon
naivety.
Continuously
cultivate an intention
Eyes
guided by wisdom
Gaze
upon faint glimmers of truth
A
world reflects
Our
state of mind
Obstacles
arise from within.
Grasp
the view
Unwholesome
actions
Bring
torment
Swiftly
blaming circumstances
Wholesome
actions
Seasoned
with ethics
Drenched
with discipline
Foster
peace.
Renounce
a fleeting peace
Breed
a fierce concentration
Steadied
by effort
Serving
to awaken
Liberate
our minds
Seeing
the world
As
we are.
Unwavering
effort
Unites
a view with intention
To
glimpse reality as it is
Flavored
by faith to
Awaken
in this moment.
A
path of eudemonia
Renunciation
reveals understanding
Nurture
mindfulness
Hone
concentration.
Forge
a path
Too
few travel
Grappling
with actions and their effects
Embedded
in the crucible of living.
