Miss Nancy offers the following:
1)
Eight stupas greet us
Gate keepers on holy ground
All's well at Palpung
2)
Raven perches high
Pinnacle of Buddha's mind
Squawking to the wind
3)
Purpose and longing
Bardo of becoming what?
Spider on the wall
4)
Mist covered mountains
Late monsoons confuse the eye
This heart sees clearly
H.H. 17th Karmapa offers the following:
(ANNIVERSARY POEM, from 2010, an excerpt, commemorating 900 years
of the Karmapas)
Because you are here, we dare to face
the angry countenance of the samsaric sea.
Because you are here, we know there is
an end to the suffering.
The world, its voice raised in cries of
birth and death, falls silent.
Your deeds blend completely with the
sky, as deep blue as your brilliant crown.
Your great heart, like a splendid
mandala of wind, keeps this world ever moved.
What lovely words and lovely to see your photo, miss Nancy. I like that name!
