Two-winged bird flies free,
one sangha monastic & lay
led by the Dhamma.

Vines on Thai trees grow
So fat, they tear the trees down—
Burying themselves

Faustian bargains
“Everyone” is doing it
So what could go wrong?

Jhānic maths
Sinewave in space-time
decreasing in amplitude,
ending in stillness.

Passing followed by rising

Every time I floss
I have to learn, again, how
Many teeth I have

Buddha belly quenched
Bodhisatta failed bare-boned—

What is in the pot?
Thai synthetic giraffe-lion dye,
Unknown ingredients.
Sewing double seams,
Magadhan paddyfield pattern,
Twenty metres’ thread.
Cannot sit on floor,
Medical issue not sin,
Tendon laxity.
Finally solved it,
The sugata measurement,
Not appreciated.
Robe falls off shoulder,
Yes I am going to solve this,
Not today though.
Robe falls off shoulder,
I now resolve to solve this,
Sadhu sadhvi style.
Took spoon to house meal,
To generous dayakas,
I give a spoon gift.
Poor exegesis,
The commentary doesn’t say,
What you think it says.
Generous support,
Unclear on alms procedure,
Raw meat in the bowl.
Further delays,
Unconcerned re time limits,
Eleven forty.
Hundreds of people,
Confused supporter’s daughter,
With his divorced wife.
Hundreds of people,
World leaders in meal dana,
But not at cleaning.
Hundreds of people,
The dishwashing upasika
misses desana.
Everyone has it,
Now sleuthing the origin,
Of food poisoning.
This foreign bhikkhu,
Thinks I don’t understand him,
Called mae chi again.

Bodhi Tree
Big golden statues
shine in artificial light.
Bodhi Tree forgotten.
Sacred Bodhi Tree
almost died not long ago.
So monks built lamp house.
Lit up day and night,
living tree doesn’t get much rest.
Please turn the lights off.

Tells of ancient hidden path
Door to the deathless
Other dimension
Across the ocean of mind
Perfect peace, Sublime

theravadans like
dungens and dragons players
explaining thier rules
white zen master
qoutes japanese poetry
he misunderstands
tibetan guru
insists on hero worship
lears at young women
the same three posters
filling every single thread
with the same nonsense
slowly losing faith
that I will ever find my
community here
the buddha himself
seems a miserable scold
always gloom and doom
the rhinosaurus
at least has his own field
i have no good friends
so much thinking and
so little to show for it
have i lost my way
all the religons
calling each other cults
maybe they are right
i should go walking
and never return to this
endless discussion
