The Buddha's inheritance Danel Cove
is enlightenment's imminence
in a lineage of eminence
and unequaled benevolence.
The path that he represents
is walked in full confidence
by disciples of excellence
beyond all comparisons.
To these I make deference
in lines filled with reverence;
to these I make reference
in words of relevance
revealed with elegance
and subsequent eloquence,
wrought by intelligence
for devotional sustenance
devoid of all sentiments,
and warmed in the resonance
of pureness of presence -
of objective experience,
nearing an innocence
in sense-felt incidents
of ephemeral elements.
Sensation and sentience
bear wisdom's developments
when tangible transience,
discerned in severance,
effaces the influence
of imagined invariance,
undoing the inference
of apparent perpetuance,
evincing the evidence
of inconstancy's dominance.
Perceiving the prominence
of continual difference,
with patience and diligence,
persistence and vigilance,
an absence of preference
lets insight take precedence,
lessening our ignorance
of passing's full prevalence,
hindering each hindrance
to purity's continuance;
impeding defilements
and defeating impediments
that obstruct our transcendence
from existence in sufferance.
Change is the provenance
of decisive deliverance;
for freedom is consequence
when clearly one comprehends
that truth has no accidents
and all is impermanence.
