Struggling? Dharma From The Great Middle Way.

Duty accomplished is the greatest satisfaction. When you focus on your own suffering, adverse conditions can overwhelm you, so always remember what it is that you are here to do, and who you are here to help. You are stronger and more capable than you think.

All the Buddhas are with you! They are not figments of your imagination. They are more real than any “flesh and bone” beings you have ever encountered.

You have taken Refuge, and They have welcomed you into Their eternal mandala. You are following Their instruction, obedient to Their Dharma. You have Buddha Nature!

Talking with the devil. Pt. 1 – Nina

1 Comment

As a young child

The Devil asked me what I wanted

In exchange for my soul in the afterlife

It took me a centuries to answer his calling

Dreading the hell but infatuated with my reward

I would hear him whispering in my ear

About the treasures and fulfilled luxurious desires

Anything I wanted was to be mine

God was nowhere to be found

I was feeling so serene in the devils shadow

Perhaps I liked it like that

And so it seemed…

The devils offer was the only option…

And I closed my eyes.
