Poem:

All the answers are in the Lotus Sutra if you talk to a Buddhist The Lotus flower has it’s roots in the Mud yet keeps it’s flower completely in the light. If you say: Namu Myoho renge kyo” it is like you read the whole sutra Seems modern life is mostly about shortcuts. Maybe I should read a Buddhist hymn instead of go to the gym. By the time we are dead we all become extreme Buddhists. Some become Sikhs while others are just weak. Muslims condemn “people of the book” then just read one themselves. Mohammed was very violent when he smashed his way though the inner moon then was very peaceful and full of insight. He actually most of the time was just defensive. My neighborhood is comprehensive.
