…Taking refuge, intent on arousing bodhichitta,
In meditation beyond conceptualization,
Dedicating practice’s merits accumulation. 

May all attain their heart’s most profound aspiration,
Realizing emptiness, finding refuge on path to liberation,
Buddhas and bodhisattvas abiding without hate, greed, nor illusion.

May I be of any means to such end,  as long there remains spacial  persistence,
As long as beings endure disillusioned insistence,
So too may I abide, dispelling suffering in Samsara’s cyclic existence… 
D.C.

Meditation’s Subjective Objective,
No state to obtain,
Maintain, sustain,
Realization of perfection
In reflection.

Evils, notions of mine forsaken,
Mind of compassion awaken.
Without conceptualization
in meditation.
Offer toward benefit all
merits-accumulation,
With prayers of dedication.

If one must make an accounting,
It is of, 
Their own blessings they should 
Take to counting. 

“The soul’s made of stories, not atoms, everything that ever happened to us—people we loved, people we lost… people we found again against all the odds—“

The Eleventh Doctor 

Refracted light but I,
Name and form but lie,
Light refracted ground,
To what perceived bound.

Gap 8 feet
Might as well be
20 if all one can
Jump is 7.
Last foot,
Eventually,
Overcome by
Training, with
Faith in practice.

Religion what binds
To creed one believes,
Expression of philosophy.
To Love of wisdom
Bind mind.

Teach never 
with thought
To convert,
 But ever
learn.
