Another
man
Who
came from great origins
Formed
a new religion.
Four
visits
Four
visions
The
old man said I have lived.
The
thin man said this is humanity.
The
corpse said I was once alive.
The
holy hermit said I was once like you.
He
fell from lofty heights
In
remorse and new enlightenment.
He
rejected old decedent ways
To
go on a pilgrimage through his land.
He
talked with many people
As
he travelled the Middle Way.
His
religion of enlightenment flowed throughout the world.
He
found patronage in India.
That’s
where it began.
He
spun the wheel of Dharma
With
his sermon to the five.
He
wandered through India
Continuing
his quest.
In
an abandoned jungle
Sitting
in the shade of his little tree,
He
thought,
He
meditated,
Until
he understood everything.
Disciples
to spread it further
Preaching
to others
Who
preached to others and so on.
The
religion continued to spread
Through
China in the north,
Through
Korea to Japan in the east,
Through
Cambodia in the south.
All
adopted this new religion.
Spirituality
flowed out
Like
the peaceful branches of the mighty Bodhi tree
Into
the world of heavenly light.
