Chapter 7 - Once Upon a Dream - A Poem Dedicated to My Disciples
1) Between the Master and his disciples
Thoughts of my disciples
Rushing through like the cascading waterfall.
And as each lotus blooms
It weaves and binds into ropes of vows.
No matter how time ages
My lingering thoughts for each Lotus disciple
Always fill my being with its permeating fragrance.
2) Living in Seclusion
Though living in seclusion
I am never alone in my memories.
Those stream of faces sparkling
Like stars in the night sky.
One by one, they shine and twinkle
Always hanging in the heaven of my heart.
3) Cultivating Diligently
Time may shift
And space may alter.
This line of True Buddha Lineage remains unchanging.
As we continue to spread our wings
What links us as Master and students
Is this common longing for a spiritual connection.
