the nature of our essence
has always been completely undefiled.
since we were born,
and before we were conceived,
even preceding the
unfolding of this cosmos,
we have always been
an elementary manifestation of purity,
when someone close–
whom we love–
is about to depart this realm,
what can we do other than,
in the words of Mr. Mayor,
“to do the right thing.”
being close to our loved ones,
never, for a moment forgetting
how fragile the unfolding
of each of our lives has been,
and still celebrating with genuine joy
and compassion the life that we have
and the relationships that we cherish.
I do love each of you
for your unselfishness
in taking this step of unknowing,
I love our master for his unbounded openness
and clarity of focus,
the Dao be willing,
we will grow as a family
and this is my greatest aspiration
for all of us on this path,
that the synergy and the compassion,
and the wisdom that will settle
over time and by natural process,
will become the foundation
of what it means to shed the clothes of uncertainty.
and to shine forth the dharma in all our naked glory
reflecting the insight of our great teacher
and the seventy eight other master’s
who’s collective consciousness
will ultimately wipe away all of life illusions.
