Many years passed from our last visit to Po Lin

Or non self conquest?

Many levels of inner struggle from our last self conquest

Or the in between stage of no conquest?

The guard at Po Lin said to us

But once enlightened, all is clear

We are all Buddhas though confused

So Hui Neng was there

Between the various states of mind

To one ‘s past 

Paying Respect to one’s parents

To everyone ‘s inner selves

A go beyond stage of mind

Was reminded

That evening

By the many inner journeys 

That my parents prepared for me

since I was born

Before I was born?

Or

May all of us be enlightened

Regardless of religions

How little mind we have come to create

Of a religion which are not ours

When we respect not the others 

Are we not of the same substance

After All?
