Sisterhood and Brotherhood
Everyone is my teacher.
Everything is the Dharma.
Look for the miracles,
The magic words,
Of understanding and love.
Make friends with yourself,
Speak from your heart,
Practice limitless non-self interbeing.
Your only career is the realization of perfect understanding,
Imperfections accepted.
So Just Be

Sisterhood and Brotherhood
Everyone is my teacher.

Make friends with yourself,
Speak from your heart,
Practice limitless non-self interbeing.
Your only career is the realization of perfect understanding,
Imperfections accepted.
So Just Be
Your hopes and desires,
Your expectations
Bring tension and stress.
There is no peace.
You look for happiness
With old thinking
So it cannot arrive.
You want one thing,
And the world
Gives you something else,
Thus your present moment wonders
Are taken away.
So just be
With your out-breath.
