Feelings on Remembering the Day I first Produced the Mind
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Drawn some sixty years ago by karma
I turned life upside down And climbed straight on to lofty summits. Between my eyes a hanging sword, The Triple World is pure. Empty-handed, I hold a hoe, clearing a galaxy. As the 'Ocean of the Knowing-mind' dries up, Pearls shine forth by themselves; Space smashed to dust, a moon hangs independent. I threw my net through Heaven, Caught the dragon and the phoenix; Alone I walk through the cosmos, Connecting the past and its people.
