In four nikayas not found
Lost in pali I am.

If @karl_lew can’t find
Pudgalvādin seems doubtful
The mainstream proclaim it

The personalists,
Pudgalavādins by name,
branded heretics

by most mainstream thought
in the time of the eighteen
early Buddhist schools.

“An anathema
for their lack of anātma,”
one could perhaps say.

Near enlightenment!
If I can just figure out…

I saw a lady
prick her finger on a wheel.
Surely Rapunzel.

I saw a fellow,
with a kiss, become a frog.
Poor, poor, Prince Charming.

I saw a lady
confuse chastity and Law.
It’s Migasālā!

I saw a fellow
who couldn’t handle the truth.
It’s Vatsagotra!

I saw an Ārya
who don’t mind being made-up.
It’s Vairocana!

I saw a guru
who taught by bad example.
It was he, Māra.

I saw a human
who just stopped. He stopped it all.
Gautama Buddha.

Other nuns [edit: are] silk;
Rustic hand-sewn rough cloth nun
Few see your wisdom.

form is not emptiness
emptiness is hardly ever form,

Righteous injustice
Trapped in delusion’s syrup
How sweet is freedom?

I woke up in the middle of the night with such strong sense of being wronged at work, had another dream about it and then checked my email and felt it all over again…what a tempting thought/feeling to believe!

Discovered Buddhism late
Huge paradigm shift!

Identities suck.
Cause feelings to run amuck
That’s where I get stuck.
