PLEASE, DEVELOP COMPASSION BOUNDLESSLY

Please, develop compassion boundlessly. This is what my teacher told me once in a private and intimate audience, please, my dear, develop loving kindness and compassion, not only ordinary restricted compassion, please, develop compassion boundlessly for each and every single being.

AUTUMN WALK

As I walk on, streams of clouds sedately roll past on a pale blue sky illuminated by a milky-white sun. I center deeply in my breathing as if to gently cradle the world in my arms. For a split of a moment it seems that my consciousness is ceasing the subtle motion in all elements.

FRIENDS

Friends are precious and rare, like jewels on a mystical island that you are sometimes searching for in your clear dreams. When you cry or feel sad and low out of the blue, friends cannot help but get up from their cushion and take you in their arms, to comfort you and make you feel shine again like sparkling rainbow lights.
