The Fifty-second Gate
The body as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] all dharmas are serene.
Abode:
a place in which a person/object resides
Body :
“the whole universe in ten directions is the real body”
Gatha:
May we together with all beings
Relinquish our body to the home of mindfulness
That we may live intimately with its impurity
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
