My little prayerbox
My precious shrine
I found in Barkor
the holy kora
around Jokhang
A women from Kham
gave me a little
prayerbox
Her man looking out for me
a small, brown Buddha sculpture
to put inside
I went to Samye, and the abbot
lay my shrine
next to Dalai Lamas throne
under Padmasambhavas feet
A holy lama gave it
a great blessing
in a big ceremony
for Buddhas coming back
from Tushitaheaven
Milarepa was smiling
from behind
when I took it into my heart
Another blessing in Jokhang
my holy shrine
Around Barkor I circumambulated
one time
I stop once to get a blessing from
Palden Lhamo, who was hiding
in a window back of her juniper smoked oven
When I was sick and nearly dying
a master of meditation
gave me my shrine back
Traveling out of Lhasa
out of Tibet
I was serious afraid
someone open it
I lay it under my pillow
when they took me out of the ambulance
and into the plane
I managing to save my holy shrine
unopened back to another country
a open and free land
My heart is filled with energy
from that holy shrine
I`m longing back to the holy land
and I desperately hope that the tremendous energy
will learn me all about unconditional love
to free my mind
to open my eye
to see in a dream
the diamond-vajra and
the empty, open bell
meet in a most deeply union
to save all sentient beeings
with unconditional love
shri
May the tremendous energy be with you and everybody.
