In Buddha's Shadow Crystal lake mirrors bare branch blossoms, floating petals drift like snow. Sacred sanctuary in this garden as sunrays spill over Buddha's image; a hallow sight, his radiant glow. Many that have gone before me and have passed this way again, the importance of devotion know. We are beings of the springtime here to gain enlightenment to help our inner light to grow. It matters not the purse we carry, nor how our appearance is perceived, only that love and kindness flow. 6-7-19 rev.

Excellent poem. I too have an interest in Buddhism and I really like the serene scene of a lovely Zen temple you convey. Also, my very first poem on this site is about Buddhism as well : http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_light_of_amitabha_818975
