Medicine for own heart.

Post by muni »

One who cannot love oneself
And has no compassion for oneself

Has it hard to love another
Has it hard to find inner-peace

When veiled by self hatred
Pain flows onto other

From a withered well, lacking a drop
Cannot flow water nursing all

Loving kindness expecting from another
Is a hunger and will never be satisfied

Trying loving kindness by pain
is difficult, causing desperation

Care for own pain as a sick friend
warmly medicine, it spreads

Nurture loving kindness from inside
gradually embrace all in love

Blessing medicine for own heart...
Peace, love is what you are

Gentle and kind for oneself
Not expecting love from out

Peace, love, If we seek it out
How can we ever be love?

Light is not only lightening itself
but without this light, darkness is pain.

Love yourself and you love others
As a light from within, shining out.

Enjoyed it very much
Image
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

Thanks Jesse.

Do not love conditioned by praise
Is same as conditioned by blame

Do not seek it in whatever words
Unconditioned love is not there

Buddhahood primordial goodness
Blessing for own wounded heart

Inviting you into natural reality
No other than primordial goodness

The victim of your own mind
Is you, do not accept that

The drug of confusion, so dearly
Is injuring your very heart

Do not slay the harmful ones
You only will harm yourself

Love them therefore even more
The healing for own injuries

See their good qualities
Aware for own negativity

Excluding anyone in your heart
Is excluding own very liberation

Embrace all and so yourself
Then nobody remains to slay.

Love, you /all are goodness
Chenrezigs' impartial care.

You have not lost heart,
For there is nothing lost

The scars are fleeting karmic
Allow the healing, no harm

Wind blows in your open heart
Cleaning from collected dust

Look around now how bright
Amazing is your own light

It is there for all and you
Everyone's pain and yours

Going like the dark night
In the rays of the morning sun.

No one has awaken the sun
That's why it shines for all

During the dark nights
be a lamp onto yourself

Aware keep looking around
Chenrezig has many eyes

Thank you for your love,
An all including blessing.

For you dear blessing heart
There is no bad nor good

It is own very grasping
the cause of all craziness

The division samsara-nirvana
Own created dependances

The limits of my human mind
Ah! Why erasing what not is?

From moon how are they looking?
Please make a picture, I beg

How is the cinema in my head
Are images sharp from moon?

Your love, cleaning brightness
Stored spots in so many lives

Born by own grasping only
They are but own fantasies

You penetrate illusive truths
So dearly rights for me

Shadows here all around
Absorbed in your brightness

Showing the Goodness of all
Then no bad nor good is seen

There is that very Goodness
All expressions of your Love

Hello my dear enemies
you are so wonderful

Teaching me what you are;
Forms of my untamed mind

My artwork of aggression
Frustration and greed;

Colours which make you
My mind rushing behind

Ha, what a performance
What an artwork of mind

While showing then beauty
the beauty what you are;

Amazing bright peace
Free play in my heart

Creation is not in artwork
But the artist belongings

So are all kind enemies,
Creations of own confusion

Thank you for all, my love
Your kindness is immense.

For teaching this I can start
Very happily cleaning inside

I bow to you beloved ones
The light of my very heart.
