The Dog and the Dalai
Lama
It was early in the
morning
Before light broke
across the sky.
His Holiness the
Dalai Lama
Made his way down the
stairs.
After morning
meditation
He descends
Into the mundane
world
Of conflict,
struggle,
Searching, gaining, and
grasping.
A dog wags his tail
Crossing His
Holiness’s path.
Perhaps the monk
smiles
At his canine friend.
Perhaps his heart is
made glad
When the dog welcomes
him
To the day.
“Hello, my friend!”
he might say.
“Dog nature welcome
Dalai Lama nature,”
I imagine him
chuckling.
“We come together to
find Buddha nature –
For five minutes we
show the world peace,
You and I –
Then have breakfast.”
