No Coming, No Going
(from Plum Viallge)

No Coming, No Going,

No After, No Before
I hold you close to me, I release you to be so free
Because I am in you and you are in me,
Because I am in you and you are in me.

36 year services....

At the suffering deep and wide sea you preached
Beyond preferences we ought to see
Here and now is where we dwell
Inside ourselves happiness and joy we should seek
No enlightenment button that we can press to be free
Yin-Yang, the symbol of balance and harmony should be indwell
Alive is the biggest of our achievement we should reach
Not a super-monk you kept retell
Around you went to give the wake up speech.

My gratitude is not in my words
It’s in my deepest heart that you have touched.
