A Reminder To Myself
Child of awareness
Is exhausted
Journey of mind is infinite
If only I could have accumulated the mileage from this journey
in samsaric realms
I would have two free tickets to nirvana by now.
This continuity of thoughts
If only I could be mindful
All the vivid experiences of kleshas
I would have gone home to my primordial rigpa by now.
Lucid beauty of six objects
So naked
Makes them utterly honest
If only I could just be present
I would have seen the buddha realm by now.
Enlightened beads threaded
Through the angel hair crown
Unique in rugged power
Genuinely shines in the hearts of samsara.
Hail, hail Karmapa!
