An altar, a blessing

See previous blip. From Jessie, a member of our Buddhist Peace fellowship:

Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate, Bodhi Swaha

Gone, gone, gone beyond, 

gone beyond going...

hail the goer

 

Thus should you look upon this changing world.

All component things are impermanent.

All component things are subject to dissolution.

See all of this world

As a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,

A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,

A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream.
