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
