Buddhism in a nutshell
Buddhism in a nutshell (so far as I can tell)
is an arduous inward trek to reach
and remain behind a one way mirror.
Leave completely the phenomenal world.
Go deeper – behind the senses,
past thoughts, emotions and moods.
Deeper still, beyond the makeshift self
(that shameless impostor).
Unattached then, settle
behind the mirror, observe
without urgency the sundry layers
you have plunged through –
the whole of this highly synchronized illusion
inside and out, until destiny shatters
the glass of separation, annihilating
and returning you to the ancient underlying Void.
O child of God, balance on the brink
until you lose your mistaken identity.
