The Four Foundations

gāthās of the Four Foundations

Holding not Having

Breath: is
Body: is
What the hands hold
The hands can free

Long, short
Aware, calm
The steps of the Dance
Are not the Dance

Hearing not Being

Joy: is
Feeling: is
The senses sing
The music of life

Joyful: happy
Aware: calm
Hearing the music
Not being the song

Observing not Thinking

Mind: is
Concentration: is
I write the story of the world
In sand

Aware: happy
Concentrated: liberated
The wind erases my words;
I smile

Everything not Anything

Impermanence: is
Cessation: is
This breath is the Buddha's breath
This step is the Buddha's step

Impermanent: aimless
Empty: free
I choose the path
Life walks through me

Breath short
Breath long
