Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

(This quote is being sent from the road. Apologies for any problems with formatting.)

HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU BUDDHA!

O how much I love you Buddha!
The way you do things properly,
The way you feel the world around you,
You have no aggression --
O Buddha! O tathagata!
You are so tamed, you are so beautiful,
You are so royal, you are so humble.
O to be like you, the genuine Buddha
Who need not clarify or validate that
You are buddha as Buddha.
O how gorgeous to be Buddha!

>From "How Typical Student Poetry Should Be," from THE ESSENTIAL CHOGYAM TRUNGPA.
