PAN-DHARMADOLLAR
Looking for cheaper restaurants,
Paying for expensive ties,
Are dualistic as much as Mohammed and the mountain.
Would the mountain come to Mohammed
Or Mohammed go to the mountain?
Sadat and Begin made a pact,
But who is going to achieve peace?
Vision and dollar are in conflict:
When there are lots of dollars,
There is no vision;
When there are no dollars,
There is lots of vision.
Clearly stranded,
Goodly rich,
Goodly poor,
Can't afford to pay for one's own tuxedo,
Can pay for one's luxury in the realm of buddhadharma,
Elegant waltz participation,
Contradiction after contradiction.
Why is a parrot green,
Speaking human language?
Why is the monkey ambidextrous,
Mocking humans?
Why do Americans mock the vajra kingdom?
They don't mean to,
They are merely being casual because they have no money,
Or they have too much money;
Therefore, they can come up with cheap proposals.
Will this go down in our history?
No.
The Noh play says:
Worshipping every deity is trusting in ancestral heritage.
For the cosmopolitan communication of dharma,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the hermit who is in the cave in order to perpetuate the practice,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the scholars who are translating buddhadharma intoAmericanism,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the householder yogis who could practice tantra with indestructible conviction,
Let us have lots of ratna
For the freelancers who might give up their ego trips,
To accommodate and lure them into the dharma world,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the young maidens who fall in love with the dharmic man,
To create a truly genuine dharmic world,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the warriors who fight for the sake of Shambhala kingdom,
Who never leave their prajna swords behind,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the administrator who never breathes for his own sake,
But is purely concerned about the facts and figures and morality of our organization of the vajra mandala,
Let us have lots of ratna.
For the vajra master who couldn't exist without the vajra world,
dedicating his life and yet receiving longevity nectar from others,
Let us have lots of ratna.
Money peeps,
Money tweaks,
However, money has never roared.
Lion's roar could be money.
Pay!
Due!
Accelerate!
Save!
Complain!
Bargain!
Let us save money by spending,
Let us spend by saving:
Sane money is free from dualistic territory.
For the Great Eastern Sun, frigid money is no good.
Computerized this and that is a kid playing cowboys and lndians:
Let us relax and be taut in our money world.
May there be Sukhavati of dollars.
May there be Shambhala kingdom with lots of wealth--
But wealth comes from waltz,
Waltz comes from dignity,
Dignity comes from consideration,
Consideration comes from being sane.
Let us spend,
Let us save:
The Great Eastern Sun saves and radiates.
Good for you
jolly good show to everyone
Let us be genuine.
