all things being equal
that all beings benefit
is the only purpose
is the only aspiration
foregoing self, releasing
foregoing illusion, rejecting
there is only compassion
wish for becoming
events and words and feelings
samsara impeding, distraction
in every moment, intention
to give all things
willing to cry, to ache, to bleed
anything, everything, if only
you do less than these
if only you reach it first
‘not this life’ you said
rejecting every good thing
turning, silence, writhing
as sunset you embrace
no matter that you choose
to set your face from me
no matter you refuse
it is not about me
my humanity, irrelevant
phoenix once more rising
tonglen and compassion
regardless your choices
these things are given
ever and ever and always
even my own becoming
sacrificed for yours
choosing, i remember you
and will eternally cradle
that of you in me
precious one, find your way
may all obsticles be removed
may all beings awaken
may all lessons be delivered
may all cross to the shore
these words, mine, and below, older ones, no less my own in this moment, as all things belong to each of us…
Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,
Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May your heart’s wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.
For all in whose heart dwells respect,
who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
May your life prosper
in the four blessings of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.
namaste.
