Meditation For Peace
Meditation on peace, is to look deep within the mind,
Seeking ways to end suffering, and make the inner world more kind.
The peace one finds within, will flow throughout the day,
And when Dukkha rears its head, peace of mind will stay.
If you witness evil deeds, just acknowledge what's been seen,
It won't disturb the inner peace, which permeates life's dream
Sadness may pay a visit, but it never lasts long
It's just a fleeting moment of life's ever changing song
For change is inevitable, everything must pass
And if it's passing too slowly.....give it a swift kick up the arse 🙏😁🙏

Back in ye olde days I was a monkey studying at Samye Ling, until excommunicated or banned for being too apish.
They kicked you out of Samye Ling? If true, I can't imagine why. LOLzzzzz
Often when trying to see the wisdom in a piece of writing it is about understanding the boundary where wise text strays into the unwise. You may see a piece of text and feel intuitively that it is wise, and you may see another piece of text and feel nothing towards it. This is the understanding of the heart, and does not bring clarity about the boundaries of wisdom. That requires a deeper seeing, and only then can you untangle what is wise about a certain text.

Gosh @Lionduck forgot to add you to my list of Buddhas for @Linc and her new fangled/updated server shenanigans. Of course when I say her, I mean hymn. And when I say hymn, I mean them. and when I say them I mean US. and when US, I mean all of US not just USA.
… and now back to the zzz … Buddha realms …
