life is suffering




life is suffering



life has purpose
a very strange one
at the end of the winding path
you will inevitably find
that there really
is no there
you will come
to see
enlightenment
is but a joke
no time
for hesitation
Manjushri and his sword
can cut the word
urging you on
frightened of silence
of our own thoughts
Samsara chosen burden
allow it to go
suffering caused by desire
desire to have
and to be
desire is a demon
can lose it
on the eightfold path
mastering the koan
singing Sutra
Buddha's sermon
every time
breaking
ego

Wrote this on a bench in the park today, it was cold, the trees are bare, the wind was blowing. It wasn't comfortable but that was the whole point. Enjoy!
