Samsara - May 7
Now quiet, settled, easy, leisurely through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday— and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray; Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee! Now troubled, disjointed, uneasily fumbling, scrambling through dumb frowning time.—Gray- -haired night’s murk weighs down gay light’s mirth filled play...— tumbling through summer’s scorching cruelty! An inescapable alternation of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be), wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,— recur, relapse, return...

Siddhartha translation by Michael R Burch
Siddhartha (The Buddha) by Hermann Hesse translation by Michael R. Burch In the house-shade, by the sunlit riverbank beyond the bobbing boats, in the Salwood forest’s deep shade, beneath the shade of the fig tree, that’s where Siddhartha grew up. Siddhartha, the handsomest son of the Brahman, like a young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, also the son of a Brahman. Siddhartha! The sun tanned...

Down the fervent aeons Buddha’s sagesse, casts its august shroud on benign witness, shades, shadows, subtle symbol shift, encompass cosmopolitan and temporal, incongruous to flaccid predilection feigned, astute statue of nuance and nicety, crosses annual acme’s snowflake whirl, Christmas that propitious seasonable fount, amid the merriment and jubilation stirred, can wry dispensation be somehow drowned, sculpted mould epitomising solemn pearls, to counter spartan sparkle an...

The Buddha Meets Christmas
In the soft glow of a December moon, Beneath the banyan tree where silence blooms, The Buddha sat, Eyes closed, heart open, Listening to the whisper of winter's breath. A star pierced the dark velvet sky, Its light falling like snowflakes upon the earth. It spoke not of kingdoms or thrones, But of a manger’s quiet humility, Of a child swaddled in simplicity, Love cradling...

He sits smiling Almost smirking Inaudibly chanting OOOOOOOOOO…my OOOOOOOOOO…my A gathering Of gatherers Seizing moments of glee Lost in animated wrapping paper Children lost in a moment Bathing in the innocence of now Sharing their unfettered joy The Buddha smiles Knowing They will spend a lifetime In search of such moments ...

Premium Member Buddha Meets Santa
Santa sailed upon his sleigh and came upon Buddha one day, greeting him with a cry. Saying, I'm bringing toys to good girls and boys, as on this toboggan I fly. Yep, I'm a plump, jolly fairy, and will make children merry with things here in my sack. Oh, the joy they'll find when they have what they pined, and no longer lack. Santa, I crave...
