...My heart felt the melancholy of the autumn leaves. Half of me wanted to stay, the other half couldn't wait to leave. Good-bye dear pagoda, dear Master, dear friends. Good-bye to this place of so many joyful sojourns With reluctant footsteps I returned to the dusty world Light-hearted still from remembrance of Buddha's world. |
This humanistic essence,
the love and sense of remembrance still
prevailed at journey's end when this spiritual practitioner left
a temple to start Her spiritual mission.
