The Communal Truth of Wisdom: Discover the Truth
K.Wong
Human personality
merely a conditioned phenomenon
jut a unity of contigent conditions
Five aggregates are the contigent conditions
The Real is only the Unity
The illusory are the many
The many is the phenomenal world
Impermanent and empty they are
The Unity is the Absolute
That Unity is Emptiness
The Unity is in the many
The many is in the unity
The Emptiness is Form
The Form is Emptiness
Annihilation of self is Emptiness
The many are servants of Emptiness
Without the Unity or Emptiness
No phenomenon can be sustained
The phenomenon disintegrates
Unity contains you
You are contained in Unity
Not contigent upon parts
Unity does not exist
Reciprocal are the Absolute and the phenomenon
Ethics sustain the unity of becoming
Do not conceive of self
Neither do you act individually
Individualism is separation
Ego is mind of cankers
It slams the door shut
Divorcing you from the Unity
It shatters Emptiness
It breaks the mould of Unity
Editor’s:
This poem communicates inter-faith understanding of the communal Truth of Wisdom between Buddhism and Monotheism. Both faiths are Process or Perennial Philosophy. Process is the Reality of dynamic process becoming. Emptiness makes process becoming pertinent. The change is perpectuted by the natural law of Dependent Co-arising. Because of the attributes of Emptiness and Dependent Co-arising, the creative advance of the world is incessantly perpectuated. |
