<dd>A Poem to Buddha<br><br>
</i></b>
<dd>You overcome the temptations of the world
<dd>You are inspired by the simplicity of life without passion
<dd>Your exertion is the only way to conquer the seduction of the world
<dd>The victorious one, compassionate,
<dd>Propagates profound dharma to all beings.<br><br>
<dd>Bewilderment
<dd>Brings passion and aggression
<dd>The world of samsara
<dd>Is endless suffering.<br><br>
<dd>Realizing deception
<dd>I seek the path of non-ego
<dd>I find the delighted Buddha.<br><br>
<dd>You understand my hopes and fears
<dd>You are both pleasure and pain
<dd>You are my friend eternally,
<dd>I would like to ask you to be my teacher.<br><br>
