The Fifty-fourth Gate
Mind as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination;for [with it] we reflect that mind is like a phantom.
Mindfulness:
the totality of conscious and unconscious mental processes and activities
Gatha:
May we together with all beings
Relinquish our mind to the home of mindfulness
That we may reflect on impermanence and interconnectedness
.
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.
