according to Buddha

Loving-kindness means you want all beings to be well and happy. Not just people you know and like, but all beings – including strangers, people that annoy you, even animals.

i love my dog as much as i love you
but you may fade, my dog will always come through.

according Buddha

Like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface, we can rise above our defilements and sufferings of life.

i’m bare-feet in the mud
ola e, ola e

according to Buddha

Witness that you are not the body.
Witness that you are not the mind.
Witness that you are only a witness.
As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

now my only company’s a half full glass of wine…

No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.

just another boy with a sink full of dirty dishes…

according to Buddha

What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now.

you should stare
at the back of my head.
if you write a letter to me
my former friend
don’t you end
with an R.S.V.P.

according to Buddha

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.

well this place is old

it feels just like a beat up truck

i turn the engine, but the engine doesn’t turn
well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
this place is always such a mess

according to Buddha

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

what will become of the truth
when we keep it in
things we don’t remember
when they ask us “when”

according to Buddha

Body impermanent like spring mist; mind insubstantial like empty sky; thoughts unestablished like breezes in space. Think about these three points over and over.
