Awakening of 菩提心* 四大** When 菩提心 is not awakened yet 四大 are the cause of suffering Endless manifestations of 四大 Are neither Good nor bad; Neither
Right nor wrong 四大 Takes Endless forms And all of them Are formless They appear and disappear Only because of our Likes and dislikes By the power of 菩提心 This Weekend in Northern Ontario
四大 took the Form of Dharma
Form of Drum
Form of Mountain
and the form of Sangha
When 四大 Takes these forms All is good
And all is 禪*** Chopping wood Carrying water All the way from Costco Sharing blessed food All is 禪 Sharing what is good Straight from the heart Because when 菩提心
Is awakened All is 禪 ... Than we left our cars And we walked On Mars Where ducks meditate
And artificial birds fly And all is 禪 Flame of Dharma In our Heart Kindled bonfire
And made happy sparks To reach the sky And all is 禪 When 菩提心
Is awakened We are all in the 禪state of Mind ...in the autumn Beauty of Northern Ontario. *菩提心 = Bodhi Citta **四大 = Four Great Elements ***禪 = Chan/Zen
