The Fifty-third Gate
Feeling as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we detach from all miscellaneous feelings.
Feeling:
the general state of consciousness considered independently of particular sensations, thoughts, etc.
Gatha;
May we together with all beings
Relinquish our body to the home of mindfulness
That we may deepen our understanding of suffering.
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.
