Brought out by sages
Birthed within seas of dharma
Beheld by Mani
Begotten as the world’s soul
Brought out by the rising sun

What worth are you? 
You deny all knightly sports.
You do not defend our walls.

I heal with no gold.
I free doves from steel cages.
I wait for heaven’s kingdom....

A boy looked in a river free
God has been merciful to me

His shimmering twin did he see
God has been merciful to me

With life, it said “Greetings Mani” 
God has been merciful to me

I saw the saving mystery
God has been merciful to me...

 I sit in emptiness,
Ohm mani padme ohm;
why is there such suffering?
I open to the suffering,
understanding is my quest.
I open to compassion,
I open to the dharma,
I open to understanding,
enlightenment awaited.
The sound of dharma’s song;
ohm mani padme ohm.

Robes of flowing milk
Mixed with light flowing honey
Nimbus of sunlight
Lotus of red, pink and gold
With buddhas in the petals
And black hair flowing downwards 


Bussokusekika Poem about a medieval Chinese painting of the Prophet Mani (founder of Manichaeism) titled in English "Icon of Mani" (Moni is Mani in the Chinese language)...

What is brighter than the Sun,
More luminous than the Moon,
And more glorious than the Mani Jewel?
The Golden Aura of Amitabha!
For His Light pervades across the
Ten quarters and extricates
The afflicted from darkness
And suffering! Bestowing the
Glory of Bodhi to all!

Arzhang, the mirror of sublime wonder 
Not the manmade clamour of a corpus 
But beauty to make all split asunder 
Beauty: Purposiveness without purpose 
To prove to all trapped life, including us  
To ascend past the black clouds of reason 
To the Pleroma, with its sublime sun 
The source of every beauty in the all 
Arzhang, the art of Mani and the Son 
Sensuous semblance unveiled, heaven’s call

Greatly he played the flute of God in India fully
Beautifully he played the lyre of light in Persia
Gracefully he played the drum of power in Babylon
Skilfully he played the harp of wisdom in Parthia

No land welcomed or even tolerated his music
Though his beautiful song reached the sunrise of the vast Earth
Shadow was vanquished by his splendid and bright appearance
Know that this musician was named Mani who brought rebirth...

on a velocipede against traffic pedaling hands free texting cyberspace
at the last minute the millipede with its mani pedi went to the stratosphere
to meet the dog up there.

What to be found you ask me raised by the jesuits
if I know my gum it is juicy fruity
for the cat to lick and god forbid the swallowing

what a nougat were the carmelites
if not caramel of a camel to carry the load
of fear the mighty ruler under the knees...

I know I didn’t give birth to her
But I love her because my better half is a part of her
When you’re not around I’ll be there for her
Because I want to give love & show her that I’m here for her
I’ll make her bottle; I’ll make sure her stomach ain’t tight
I got a natural mother’s instinct so I’ll know when she ain’t alright
And when she get older I’ll do her hair just like mine
Because she’s got her daddy & her step mama she’ll be just fine...

George faced the two ships of splendorous light 
Entreated, and vowed to shatter the false gods 
Openly soldiering on, through Christ’s name 
Rome, heard this bright name and brought their wheel of swords 
George even climbed up their ladder of knives  
Enduring this, his crimson cross now shines high 


Partly inspired by the "Incantation of St. George" from the medieval Chinese text "On the Xiapu Ritual Manual Mani the Buddha of Light"
