Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form. The Buddha
I cannot reach it from where I stand. Instead, I must enter into its own dimension. I call forth the force behind the flames, the elemental energy of the experience that is fire. I open to the full force of its power and vow to honor the gifts it brings me. The gardians of the flame, these fine warriors of fierce spirit and tender mercies, these protectors of the purest intention, reach forth from the flames in clear alliance with my Self. I take their hands and step into the eternal, inner flame. |
