Tricycle's Daily Dharma: September 14, 2007
Enlightening beings
Enlightening beings are like lotus flowers,With roots of kindness, stems of peace, Petals of wisdom,Fragrance of conduct.Enlightening beings turn the
wheel of teachingJust like what the buddhas turn;Conduct is its
hub, concentration the spokes;Knowledge is their adornment, wisdom
is their sword.
- The Flower Ornament Scripture, trans. by
Thomas Cleary From Everyday Mind, a Tricycle book edited by Jean
Smith
