Uncompromised 17 June 2010

hanging
balancing
at the very tip
ego robs
irrelevant

surrendering
letting go
ego nowhere seen

Am I deluding myself? 17 Jun 2010

What held me back
Is what I am holding on
What upset me back
Is what I am resisting
What deluded me
Is what I am ignoring

What is hidden
Will be revealed
Only until I faced with it

What if the Buddha is born elsewhere
Will he be called “Buddha”?
Or any other possible label?

What if not Pali, but a different language?
A different life time, a different world cycle
Surely the past Buddhas are not called Buddhas?

Is there a buddhist, or merely a practitioner?
Regardless of label, she aims for total freedom?

Leaves 7 Feb 2010

Leaves are no different than this body
It changes with time
Arising and passing off
To be replaced with yet another

If both have the same nature
As fleeting as a bubble
Why then do I give specialness
To this body or to anybody?
Am I not making a hierarchy
Out of this illusionary nature?

I am Calling You 2 Feb 2010

I express my needs
But you misinterpreted me

Is it that you are not listening
Or am I missing a point here?

Am I doing the same to you
When I think you misinterpreted me

Is it that I am not listening
Or you are missing a point here?

To Listen, to Hear? 2 Feb 2010

What’s the difference
Though both are heard?
In form it looks the same
In essence, one is Doing
The other, Being.

What’s the difference in Form? 1 Feb 2010

How would I know
Whether you are meditating
Or sleeping?
For both are as still as dead

I can only be sure
By the posture you take

But then again
What has posture
Got to do with meditation?
