Truth and nothing other than the truth...
All that blooms must wither
All that once was, will not be
Coming to terms with this
Is the secret, He revealed to me...
The source of all misery
The source of all dissatisfaction
Lies in denial of impermanence
In holding onto the illusion of permanence...
For only transience is eternal
All that comes, must pass away
Realizing this is lifting the veil
To perceive the truth that will prevail...
A paradigm shift of perception will occur
As you really see things the way they are
Without distortion from the mind lens
Convoluted by anger, delusion and greed...
The body is a river, perpetually in flux
The mind, a stream of fleeting thoughts
The illusion of a 'self' is a bubble
That makes us all distraught...
When the bubble bursts, you realize
You are boundless, there is no self
The self is just one great misconception
A creation of the mind, nurtured by the senses...
Boundless compassion is all that remains
For there is no conflict, when there is no self
We are all connected, we all need each other
For we all suffer from a deluded mind...
This is the plain and simple truth
Focus on impermanence of everything
Meditate on the connectedness of everything
Let love and compassion be your guide...
So I learned from the master
Who sat under a Bodhi tree
An embodiment of compassion
The light of reason, who showed us the way...
