Dear Mara,
How is it in your capacity to perpetuate suffering do you yourself benefit? That you in your efforts seek to disarm the clear light of progress at every turn is quite sad. What vendetta provoked this maddening turn? Is it a selfish disposition - misanthropy, a sincere hatred for freedom and beauty? I want YOU to be free! You in your infinite capacity have seen many Thus-Gone Ones, Buddha's, and Victorious Ones. How many Kalpa's just to see this one precious flower unfold? Perhaps by this example it is time for you to intimate this perfection housed within the Three Jewels and release all beings from the clutch within your folds. To each mother, brother, sister, father, cousin, animal, insect, and friend there exist for each twelve mountains of bones. How many lifetimes must this go on? I am exhausted in simply reflecting. This ache likened to a bruise. Your intimacy always near- Your kiss upon my neck; a poison fruit I cannot bear.
Yours in Dharma,
Shaun
