SPIRITUAL WISDOM
Gyalwang Karmapa XVII
The World--Ah!
Ah, World! It's in your lap we do our lives and deaths--
It's on you we play out our pleasures and pains.
You are such a very old home of ours;
We treasure and hold you dear forever.
We wish to transform you into the pure realm of our dreams,
Into an unprejudiced land where all creatures are equal.
We wish to transform you into a loving, warm, gentle goddess.
We wish so very firmly to embrace you.
To that end, be the ground which sustains us all.
Do not show us the storms of your nature's dark side,
And we, too, will transform you, all your corners,
Into fertile fields of peace and happiness.
May the harvest of joyfulness and freedom's million sweet scents
Fulfill our limitless, infinite wishes, so we pray.
