Wanna be a guru for a day?

I'd like to walk a mile in your shoes
And acquaint myself with your true truths.
Hey maybe even a guru
Could come in the form of a paddock of ewe's
Or a tree or an ant
Or a pair of smart pants.
Hell, Dr. Seuss could be my guru
His crazy rhymes speak my language
The lorax is one I can think of like that
If I was the cat, I'd greet the lorax with honour
With a proud smile and the tip of my cat hat.

You are on your own and know what you know
You are the one who will decide where to go
Yeah Seuss was pretty good
I am sure that you are good too.

The thing with poetry
is that it is unique
and it is made up
of many a technique
yet it is from within
and out it will flow
some may take an interest
and a light for them will glow
Although there is more
if you really look
between the lines
in a hidden nook
The element
of what you feel
Shines more so
and makes it real
Not only
from the space it came
It brings
the writer and the reader
into the same
mindset
for a moment or two
and may create some thoughts anew
then on their way they go
with rhyme forgot
and a feeling
that there’s been something taught,
yet really it’s just an opening
to allow life to flow
and bring what it will bring

Love and hugs

O Blessed One, Shakyamuni Buddha,
Precious treasury of compassion,
Bestower of supreme inner peace,

You, who love all beings without exception,
Are the source of happiness and goodness;
And you guide us to the liberating path.

Your body is a wishfulfilling jewel,
Your speech is supreme, purifying nectar,
And your mind is refuge for all living beings.

With folded hands I turn to you,
Supreme unchanging friend,
I request from the depths of my heart:

Please give me the light of your wisdom
To dispel the darkness of my mind
And to heal my mental continuum.

Please nourish me with your goodness,
That I in turn may nourish all beings
With an unceasing banquet of delight.

Through your compassionate intention,
Your blessings and virtuous deeds,
And my strong wish to rely upon you,

May all suffering quickly cease
And all happiness and joy be fulfilled;
And may holy Dharma flourish for evermore.

Argue with it if you can and try to figure out if the Buddha was a woman or man ! Boom boom ! lol

There is no argument in the essence of buddha..:)

In the essence of buddha
compassion is supreme
no question unanswered
no answer is seen
within essence of buddha
every question leads on
to another and another
till the nothing is one
nothing and everything
is all in the mix
in the essence of buddha
the eternal just is...

posers are red
vileness is blue
my guru`s a stand up guy
yours is too

little jack born her
crying in the corner
eating a mcdonalds and fry
pull out your thumb
and believe in someone
and rise my angel so high

Guru rhymes with how-do-you-do?
And hulla-balloo
And doggy-doo-doo
And lots of other things too

And it's all within you.

For some reason SquatchGuru has a nice ring to it...

It's fruitful and fruitcakingly good to let the inner guru come out to play
Even just for one post, an hour, a morning or perhaps for the day
