An Arhat's Dream By Julian Colgan

Climbing the ever winding

steps of Mt.Sumeru,

this arhat's dream

is to develop the vision

where everyone is my good master.

Climbing out of my lotus flower encasing,

this arhat's dream

is to conquer the world

of conditioned reactions.

Climbing out of my former 

mind and livelihood,

this arhat's dream

is to arise to the occasion

whenever that occasion does arise.

Climbing out of my prior 

engagements with others,

this arhat's dream

is to create a new mental space

where everyone can feel comfortable in.

Climbing out of the

world's anxieties and affairs,

this arhat's dream

is to chant and meditate with

the bodhisattvas of ancient antiquity.

Climbing the musical scale

of a compassionate heart,

this arhat's dream

is to sing the pure buddha dharma

to all who abide in the nothingness of space

and in the grounded qualities of the earth.

Arriving at this arhat's dream,

the lotus flower of this buddha's mind

sprinkles forth the essential extract

of a purified nature; which is

the state of bodhichitta.

Generating the stage of world enlightenment

for all sentient beings, may everyone

become a perfected buddha

who is a master of this arhat's dream.
