Aspirations and Poems written by Lama Tsultrim Khandro



Haiku #10

Attachment Leads
There is always a Choice child
Thoughts are but dream






Haiku #16

Snow falling silent
Thoughts like a river running
Both melt in the light






Haiku # 18

Dawn is upon us
Lotus springs from the mud
This moment is gone









Aspiration

Just as Tara swiftly fulfills the wishes of all beings from the three times to the reaches of the ten directions,
May my activity be just as Jetsun Araya Taras.

As long as the Ocean of Suffering remains full,
as long as beings wander,
May I too remain for the benefit of all beings with out exception.

Until the very ocean of Samsara empties may I remain.

As Lord Ananda said “and even should the nature of shunyata melt away, my vajra-like supreme resolve would still remain unmoved.”

May all the sufferings of all beings from the three times and the reaches of the ten directions limitless as space may there sufferings ripen in me.

May they be free from suffering and its causes,
May they enjoy limitless happiness.

May the Buddha Dharma flourish.

May the activity of the glorious Karma Kaygu grow and blossom.
