Remembrance
\n<\/b>How does the past delight and haunt, but as a thought?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How else do you experience future, but as a thought?<\/p>\n

It is all real, but not really,<\/p>\n

Seeing that, we continue playing.<\/p>\n

Letting go of perfection, and of rejection,<\/p>\n

Engage appropriately, contented, equanimous.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the role, joyfully we play,<\/p>\n

Knowing it, thoroughly we love.<\/p>\n

Continue mindfully, skilfully,<\/p>\n

Until wisdom comes without effort.<\/p>\n

No two sufferings, no two sufferers,<\/p>\n

With compassion, we end, even the idea.<\/p>\n

Wonder, wonder at the space,<\/p>\n

Inner and outer, there is no boundary.<\/p>\n

That too is a thought, remember!<\/p>\n

Seeing that, letting go, be free. be. free.<\/p>\n

What then remains? just the suchness,<\/p>\n

I drink to the smiling stars, the great Buddhas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thank you and have a beautiful time!<\/p>\n
