Avoid Evils and Do Good,and Purify the Mind

By Satiman

I restrain myself
To avoid the unwholesome
I open wide my arms
of benevolence and  compassion
To embrace the needy

I meditate energically but serenely
Unifying my scattered mind
I journey through the jhānas
I contemplate on Anicca or Anattā
Silencing the untamed mind  

I migrate unobstructedly
From attentiveness to mindfulness
From grasping to non-grasping
From self to Non-self
From impurity to purity

I renounce
The proprietorship of all my wealth
Yet still at my disposal
Journeying from illusion to awakening
From emptiness to middle path
Entering into the Centre of the Heart

I open the gate of the Exalted One
He greets me with a wide smile
Welcome home, my dear son
This is your real home
This is a permanent blissful home

Dhamma eye illuminates the five aggregates
Self or ego vanishes instantaneously
The Dharmabody is manifested
There is actually  nobody
Yet it is  somebody beyond expression
I have become a backyard Bodhisattva
