Vipassana: A poem

Breathing in “BHUD”
Breathing out “DHO”
Chest rising and falling
Watching thoughts
Come and go

If I can observe it
Then it cannot be me
My thoughts, feelings, emotions, and body,
Are all a false identity

I am the one who watches,
Who observes,
Who sees,
This seat of Consciousness
Of Self,
Of Soul,
That is truly Me

Desire is the cause
Of all suffering
Let go of all want
Let go of all things
Stay in the present
Stay in the Now
No past, no future,
Let go, and allow

Separating mind from body,
And body from mind
Learning that in the face of anger, frustration,
Impatience, and pain,
Just smile and be kind
Be kind to yourself,
And to all others too
Center inside of yourself
To find the truth

Loving kindness
Is the greatest virtue there is
Sending love out to all
To feel true bliss
Whatever you experience,
Practice no judgement or blame
Don’t point fingers outwards,
Go in, and stay

I’m growing and learning
Each day at a time
Letting go of all tension
Surrendering to the Divine
Learning to live life
Much more mindful
For all of these lessons and experiences,
I am forever grateful.
