Poem Inspired By Infinite Life Sutra

Yearn for Bodhi for life’s a dream,
A dark fleeting phantom, and a
Shadowy hollow illusion,
Filled with nightmares of greed and fear,
Of Love and loss and scorching
Fires of burning ire and desire, 
Of hard times that haunt and linger.
All dharmas are but dew and mist,
Ready to fade when the Sun of 
Inner Wisdom shines and pours forth,
Revealing the blooming lotus 
And the Seven Jeweled Lagoon 
Of the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
