POEM - 'Declaration'


I will not give into
fear or hate or ignorance.
I know that I know better
and I will not let this progress any further.

Thoughts are instantaneous creations,
momentary flashes which are impermanent.
A flash of anger is nothing compared to
the Light of the Buddhadharma.

How can one momentary instant of nothing
compare with the Infinite Truth of the Buddhas?
There is no Truth within malice or ill intent.
Erase it from memory, let it go.

We strive for the elimination of negative karma
not it’s accumulation.
The elimination of our suffering,
and all sentient beings.

-GK Sandoval
