Poem: Mercy


Someday, suddenly I understood what mercy was.
It is purity, the power to solve everything with kindness
Regardless of what others’ attitudes are.
This power enables us to bear in mind the ultimate interests of all beings.
Mercy is the innocent smile from the deep inner self,
The Buddha-light that can eliminate evil and exterminate turbulence,
The transparency opposing degenerations,
The benevolent true self of virtuous enlightenment and righteous Fa.
