||| FROM ANJI RINGZIN |||


return from your wanderings
open your eyes now to see

the two worlds have collided
and pulse in tyranny’s grip

kronos ticks at warp speed
his hands ensnared in disorder’s web

yet you still hope for happiness
yes there will be grief

but the love, the love is yours
summon the buddhas
the bodhisattvas

the midnight mutterers
and all those who dare to build

a new society enlightened bold
as Buddha intended

united inside by love
storm outside
peace inside
I tell you—love exists

be still now:
new universes are being born
