Turnabout

I sat there
mocking the Buddha
contemplating
                       ………his navel

Tranquillity

A lone bridge across
the pond reclines like Buddha
in this serene wood.

Untitled #122 / Love and the Buddha Nature

Can love be against the Buddha nature?
Can we let Buddha stand in the way of living?
Or can all complications be reconciled into
One?

Premium Member We Thought

We thought
We are ours
Until life said
We aren't ours, are we?
Shall we 
Commemorate 
Our 
Realization 
Into
Buddha effect... ?

Premium Member Om - My

A gnome pays homage
to a Buddha
shadows touching
a silent warmth
separating
or joining them
in a meditative
sunset.

The Heart of Buddha

a song
without the lyrics
and the flute
and the scenery
of the elusive countryside
arises out of a silent resonance
spreading the waves of joy
within

A Love

It is very nice to think of love
The world is full of love and unbroken hearts,
with girl saying a love
and boy happily to date
In every Buddha land of peace

Buddha cast in bronze

--- heaped high w/ new-fallen snow ---

smiles unfazed, dwindles

cross-legged in the garden

under the sky's vast length, breadth.

a solitary candle lit in the night
suddenly the face of buddha
resonates with me and I hear clearly
gentle whispers in the dark

Premium Member Warning Or Invitation

Buddha appeared to me in the surf today
was it a warning or an invitation?
Unsure, I allowed myself to meditate
knowing whatever I discovered
was meant for me alone

Premium Member Buddha speaks

he who stands closer to the source 
teaches without employing force 
since he’s not in separation 
therefore there’s no thought serration
in his evocative discourse

Pim -Dad

Dear Dad
The foods that I left
In the altar that I wish
You reborn to another life
With my prayer to Buddha
To you my fullest love
You live in my mind forever and always

Wrong Is Right

Right and wrong are different,
All the rights are not rights,
All the wrongs are not wrongs,
Doing a wrong right,
Not wrong,
Lord Buddha and Gandhi,
Came right doing wrong!

Premium Member Going Out on a Lim: Not-so-Grand Opera

A Chinese opera singer named Chow Ling
Had a voice that would set dogs to howling.
Her high C, it was said,
Could awaken the dead,
And turn Buddha from laughing to scowling.
