My mistress is this unbearable tenderness
\nAnd my goal
\nIs never to be parted from her
\nNight and day, and every second of my life,
\nIn a close and unique embrace.
\nIn the unbearable aspect
\nThere is the certainty of death,
\nThe immeasurable space of parting;
\nIn the tenderness
\nThere is you and all beings
\nWhom I love better than myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My right hand holds the flaming sword
\nOf unbearablessness
\nWrapped around by the flames
\nOf deep warmth and tenderness;
\nAnd in my left hand
\nThe lotus of pure love carries
\nInfinite ways to express this
\nConcealed into exalted words of great meaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way I fight my enemies is by liberating them from the suffering
\nOf the compulsive urge to harm and destroy
\nPacifying, seducing or overpowering them.
\nSince beginningless time you completely surrender to me
\nAnd such a wholehearted openness
\nIs a wondrous gift
\nThat I accepted with deep joy and respect
\nTaking it most seriously at heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deserving such confidence is what gives me
\nUncommon sense of duty, readiness to die, and outrageous courage,
\nIndispensable virtues of a warrior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, if you are trustful enough to step outside
\nThis world of misery and sorrow
\nAnd join me in the resplendent circle
\nOf unbearablessness and warmth,
\nUnbelievably,
\nBy merging vivid awareness that everything is possible
\n\u2013 Including death and change \u2013
\nWith the irresistible bliss of absolute love,
\nTogether, we will conquer the borderland of meeting and parting
\nAnd travel safely to the city of immortality
\nBeyond concept.<\/p>\n
Please, believe me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
