My New Year’s Day Prayer By Tt On the summit of the Stony man in Shenandoah Valley 1/1/2023 (1) As a naive Tibetan teenage boy I hate prayers I am refused to see I am one of the prayers My mentors were my school teachers, The so call “science-based language textbooks” were the only window through which I see the universe (2) As a cynical young man I was totally disgraced by my nations tragical past and it’s suffocating status quo I wanted to pray but didn’t know how And more important to whom my prayers ought to be made! By the blessings of my quest for freedom I heard the great boos of the universe that none of my school teachers dare to attend I saw how the magnificent Himalayan jeers at the textbooks taught me what universe is and who I truly am. (3) As a proud adult I realized praying is the only food that can keep me alive So, I joined the exalted ancient order of monasticism I took refuge in the doctrine of Escapitism I was honored and felt somewhat home As a disti...

The Reflection of Reflection (edited by Carrie)  By Tt  2022-7-19  In Buddha Land, Turners Station, Kentucky  (1)  The trees and flowers on the other side of the pond seem to be looking at me  What caught my eye was not rigid material objects  Everything is so clear and translucent  The pleasant aroma of tranquility spreading in the air  Make me drown in joy, dare not move  However The message from the other side of the pond Is clearly teasing my unquestionable sense of existence!    (2)  Anyway  I know  I am sure  This moment  It’s me  Yes  It's me watching the trees and flowers on the opposite side  That's right  I'm enjoying their unique features that want to please the heaven and earth I can’t ask for more, I appreciate it to the fullest.    (3)  I'm looking at the surface of the pond, full of goodwill For everything that appears and happens around me As if in an attempt to lead me to absorption  in meditation  I firmly believe in going out of the tunnel of worldly...

The Mind Stirring Myths By Tt 7/9/2022 At Greenberry’s, Charlottesville VA (1) “Tell Me who invited you here?” “Tell me who is older than whom?” These were the questions I heard the moment I realized where I was standing Today, upon seeing this picture I heard these questions again. (2) So, I have two unanswered mind-boggling questions Oh, the great venerable mother of wisdom Please help your own son Free him with his ancient memories. (3) I have two soul-stirring myths that chase me Oh, the great compassionate mother of all times Please help your own son Enlighten him with his antiquated origin. (4) The magnificent pyramids of Giza Invited me with their matchless majesty The imperishable legends of the ancient Kush kingdom Honored my presence with their unsurpassed charms “Look, these are the pyramids you have longed to see!” A voice I made acquaintance within this life shouted out “Hold on, how can you be certain you have never been here before?” Familiar words of a reminder...

Oh, Bridge, take me Home By Tt 6/18/22 At the bank of Rivanna river in Charlottesville, Virginia  (1) I am lost in my own home because I ignored where I was I am looking for a bridge that can take me to the place Where I would find myself (2) I need the sunlight to keep the woods shining in golden color  And the Rivanna river rolling forward very smoothly and meditatively I need my heart to feel the bridge that sees my lonesome figure (3) Oh, my poor lonesome figure If the darkness that I am scared of can burry all my flaws I welcome it and implore it to arrive swiftly in its outmost density  (4) All I want is to see myself as an ego-free being All I believe in is an ego-free "me." Because an ego-free "me" is the totally innocent me That is genuinely righteous me From that pure self of me   I can radiate the light of unconditioned love to all That I of my ultimate identity  Is the bridge for millions who are lost in their own home!

  My Tearful Prayers By tt 5/20/22 On the train from Kyiv, Ukraine to Przemysl, Popland (1) Oh, the kids of my altruistic prayers from both sides At this point, I have nothing for you but tears I just felt too tiny and powerless The boiling flams of hate and ignorance Have manifested themselves in the ugliest form that I don’t want to look it again All the damages I have seen spoke aloud themselves! May the tears of my sadness transform into waves of love and wisdom Swiftly clean the poison of our cherished self-centeredness (2) Oh, the kids I see in my altruistic prayer from both sides Please come and confess All the physical evidence proved that you are possessed by the demons of jealousy and self-pride (3) Come and confess Confess you think you are your body but not Confess you think you are your earthly individuality but not Oh, the kids I see in my altruistic prayers Come and confess At least, Confess and acknowledge that you wish no evil ever hurt you and all your beloved one...

Find it and live with it By tt 5/13/2022 At Tashi’s apartment on Adama Mickiewicza, Warsaw, Poland (1) I have been trying to find one thing One thing only For someone This one thing can be so scary to touch But for others it is extremely noble to discover (2) I have been looking for this one thing I know without this one thing I am nothing better than a wandering street dog I know this one thing delineates the value of my earthly existence (3) This one thing The thingness of my own self-creation Is what I am really is or Is not At times, this one thing terrifies me Every now and then This one thing frees me from the fear caused by deeply rooted misperceptions of self (4) This one thing of mine is the reason I came so far away From the great land known as America Where people take everything for granted This one thing I truly needed Is a magic remedy to remove the cause of aversion, self-charishment and ignoramce If I found it I can live forever without any fear but love for all (5) T...
