Attempting Mindfulness |
How to span the distance from mind to
sensation |
(September 1999) |
(November 1997) |
I sat beneath a
stunted htanaung |
The mind, they say,
is like a monkey. |
Chasing the Mind(July 1998) |
October 1998 |
That night when the
Bodhisat set forth |
In partial payment of the
debt of gratitude |

"When composite - natures are
manifested |
Once again I see its form from afar Through a gap in the foliage beside the jungle track, A round gold pearl on green velvet Or with the sun on it, a morning star. And I know I have not far to go, After climbing steep slopes and ladder steps At places with names like "Grandpa Turns Back". Then I take the final long climb, Go through a bend and again it is there, A huge rock like an orb outlined Against the brilliance of the tropic blue sky, Perched on the edge of a precipice, Barely touching the rock on which it sits, Gently rocking to each desperate try To push it into the gorge below. It enshrines a Sacred Hair And is crowned with a zedi of lacquered gold. The marvel in the jungle to which people go To revere the wish-granting Kyaik-htee-yoe. |
