Inspired by Buddhism....by Loren Treisman


C'est une amie que je me suis faite au Mozambique. Elle a composé cette chanson/poème et j'ai décidé de le publier sur le blog puisque ça représente notre façon de voir la vie. Vos commentaires sont les bienvenus ! (en anglais svp pour qu'elle puisse les lire).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

What the hell is going on out here ?
Is anybody truly clear ?
Is it love you seek, success, maybe wealth ?
The perfect partner, career, good health ?

STOP!

Take a deep breath in & out, in & out,
Please tell me what it's all about,
Sit back, relax, take....your....time,
Look deep in your heart, to within, the sublime.

Just pause for a moment...break through the delusion,
Be true to your fear, the anger and confusion,
Are you with me ?

Watch those thoughts cloud your mind,
Observe those perceptions, let the feelings unwind,
And use your awareness to set you free,
To respond from that inner sanctuary,
Spontaneously, creatively,
Generously, genuinely.

But beware, it isn't easy letting go,
Awareness lost to our friend the ego,
So we grasp and we cling, attach and crave,
To the past we're a servant, the future a slave.

We chase and we fight for all we desire,
Envious of those we revere or admire,
And those who disagree with our views,
We berate and belittle, reject and abuse,
Turning round and round on that wheel of life,
One moment we're in bliss and joy, the next in pain and strife !

But there is a way out of this involuntary reaction,
The anger, the hurt, the ignorance and disatisfaction,
It's all impermanent, can't you see?
Coming and going, no static destiny,
We all grow old, get sick and die,
Surely that's something you can't deny,
Wake up to the truth, that everything's changing,
Each moment unique, all existence rearranging.

Feeling depressed, I sympathise,
It sure ain't easy seeing through lies,
Look deeper still and you will find,
No permanent self in which to reside,
Without our habits guidind our volition,
Trapping you in this human condition,
There's no you or me, this or that,
FACT!

So breath,.......
Sit back, relax and meditate,
Seek beyond this obsessive state.

Break through that veil of stunting illusion,
Where heart and mind unite in fusion,
To see things as they really are,
A wisdom so deep, extented so far,
Unaffected by eternal occurences, for those you can't control,
Boundless compassion, equanimity and joy, become our highest goal.

Form is emptiness and emptiness is form,
In this very moment NOW, create and transform,
Come join me in seeking a truth beyond this,
And together we'll reside in unshaken bliss !
