"Dzogchen" calligraphy by the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
Art Poetry

Who Are You?

You are so creative
And your tricks are so original
Look at your magic
So deceptive, real, and endless.

You are a great storyteller
So dramatic, colorful, and emotional
I love your stories
But do you realize that you're telling them over and over and over?

You are such a dreamer
And you're tirelessly so passionate
For your dream characters and the world
But do you see that you're just dreaming?

You are so familiar
Yet no one knows who you really are
Are you not called "thoughts" by some?
Are you really there or simply my delusion?

Are you not taught to be the true wisdom mind?
What a beautiful world this can be
If only I can see through this mind

Well, it doesn't really matter
Because I don't exist without you!
"Who am I?" — is perhaps the right question
After all, I'm just one of your many manifestations!

February 7, 2006. Denny's, Tokyo, Japan.
