POET'S CORNER:

(Dharma name:  Satya)

(A haiku is a type of short-form poem that originated in Japan. Haiku poems are typically written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. They are unrhymed, but some poets may choose to rhyme the first and third lines for added challenge. Haiku poems often focus on nature or the seasons, and emphasize simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.)

Reflection:

   A VAST EMPTY HALL,

MY THOUGHTS AND I ARE ALONE.

   WHERE'S ENLIGHTENMENT?

     THE CUSHION COMPLAINS.

BONES POKE INTO IT FOR HOURS,

       WHILE NIRVANA LAUGHS.

Mirrors of Truth:

   DISTILLATE OF TRUTH

IS FOUND IN THE SYLLOGISM. 

        METANOIA TIME!

     TRUTH STEPS SHARP AND CLEAR

OVER SHARDS OF BROKEN THOUGHTS.

          CONSCIOUSNESS AT WORK.

           TRANSLATION EXISTS

IN MIND FIRST,AND WITHOUT FORM,

         AND YET IT FINDS TRUTH.
