This is the beloved community, sangha,
how together we live and grow in harmony,
each person in balance with purpose, our dharma.
Buddha, dharma, sangha, the three jewels, as karma
evades deep reflection, mirrors our irony,
leaves our community in strife, seek the sangha,
only here can we find repose, the mahatma,
venerable great soul, cast out for simony,
evades deep reflection, tortured by the dharma,
dharma, as law and truth, revealed by the Buddha.
Consciousness appears as the only tyranny,
only this mind, we bear together as sangha,
meditation, the cure to endless samsara,
make believe to suspend disbelief, clarity
unveils the hidden world with eyes on the dharma,
nothingness, emptiness in our cupped hands, mudra,
in the training of mind, we hear a symphony,
to maintain this posture, we uphold the dharma,
yet, we expect nothing in return as sangha.
