Karmic Kindness

Since the 90s my teachers taught me, gave me the tools since then, I've learned Tibetan Buddhists have no rules Some Karmic life-changing practices: Tame my ego Place others first Give unconditionally All this thinking is intertwined can't be separated, you will find Karma's much more I've found than "what goes around comes around" Karmic consequence means higher rebirth notice the Buddha, he's touching the earth grounded intention to do the right thing is the way to liberation good acts bring Westerners think individuals breed success easterners foster Karma "loving kindness" dissolve the ego, meditate, look within you end up "awake" but it's tough to begin My life has been changed in every which way living Buddhist principles through each day if you could choose a practice to possess it might well be Karmic Kindness

Thank you Line so much for running the contest and selecting and remarking on my effort. You obviously understand and practice the essentials yourself. It's so nice for poets to share but with the Karmic tone it makes it even better. Namaste.
