Varanasi

Breathe the black, choking smoke

See the bodies burning and don't turn away

Feel the ash falling on your skin

For this will be your fate someday.

Wow, now that is a teaching on impermanence if I have ever heard one I have to admit it did take some time for my shock to give way to laughter. Way to go Rindor!

Now we just need to add something about life being uncertain and living each day to it fullest. What was the quote?...something like...

"Don't be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life."

And a vajra answer for my Dharma brother......

Singed with impermanence

Ashen I pray

I long for enlightement

For this will be my fate someday

Dear Rindor, Please sing us your songs of pilgrimage. Even here, in the blog, if you would like.
