Enlightenment

Seeking and finding the way

through Dharma

is not a singular path

to some distant destination,

far off and steep

with obligations.

 

Rather,

it is an ever-growing,

ever-renewing,

journey of rich discovery

and exploration

from beginning to end

and from end to beginning

in a stream of arisings, openings

and awarenesses centred in

the oneness of mind, soul and body.

 

It is a letting go of Saṃsāra,

that toxic cycle of negativity

and destructive karma,

and the taking up of all

that leads to

the other,

all the evokes compassion,

and all that dispels

the delusion

that we are not connected,

to the wellbeing of all.
