And I am a speck.

A speck that contains the whole universe!

The Greatest Buddha

You live, the unborn Buddha is you.

I like your line, "I am the greatest Buddha that ever lived". It's like a Koan! Playing with the absolute and the relative, the unfathomable and the obvious. It caught my interest!

Good shit!

Re: The Greatest Buddha

Buddha never lived, cause never born and never passing ...

Just same old shit.

Gassho, J

But I can still write a frickin poem.

Kidding.


It's called morning sickness for Buddhas.

That was actually, more about bringing "people, Gurus, and things to a greater level then we can relate to. Instead of recognizing ourselves as Buddha. Hence "The greatest Buddha that ever lived". But whatever, could have a few meaning I guess.

Gotta Go

A poem that partially came to me this morning. The rest is just improvised:




I am the greatest Buddha that ever lived.

Yet I am Dirt and Ash.

The universe keeps expanding

And I am a speck.

I am the Greatest Buddha that ever lived.

Yet, I still shit.

My bones get old,

And the Autumn turns to Spring, turns to winter, turns to summer,

If only summer, then fine.

If only winter, then fine.

I can't change the summer by Saying "Hey summer! Change!"

I am the Greatest Buddha that ever lived.
