This is for Onslaught and the rest of my fellow meditators, buddhists, and on the cusp buddhists. I know you are out there lurking
Ten Thousand Sutras by Sam Hamill
The body is the body of the Buddha.
Like ice and water, the one is always in the other.
In the middle of the lake
we long for a drink of water.
Adrift in Samara
we dream of blissful Nirvana.
The body is the body of the Buddha,
this moment an eternity.
Saying I love you, the deed is done.
The name and the deed are one.
With you and without you
the line runs straight
your body is the body of the Buddha
there is light beyond the gate.
This love I give to you
is the love that comes from Kannon.
Every breath a sutra.
Going or returning, it's the same.
Our bodies are the bodies of the Buddha,
our names are Kannon's name.
No word can adequately say it,
yet every word must praise it
in silent meditation
destroying evil Karma
in silent meditation
inhabiting the Dharma
this body is the body of the Buddha
your body is the body of the Buddha.
Open arms and eyes to Samsara.
Embraced by the thousand arms of Khannon.
In the perfect mind of vivitka-dharma
the truth of solitude,
our body is a temple,
not a refuge
Praise our body
even in Samsara
Our bodies are the body of the Buddha.
