We recite these poems for the sake of all beings.

December 8 (or 8th day of the 12th month) is the day we celebrate the Buddha's awakening. Shakyamuni's awakening--manifesting his Buddha Nature--is the awakening in all of us. Our day-to-day activities--getting up, eating, going to work, reading poetry, sitting on a cushion--all activities are opportunities to manifest our Buddha Nature. To celebrate this auspicious day, the sangha of One Mind Zen Collective held a Poetry Slam to help all sentient beings to celebrate with us, and to manifest their own inherent awakened nature in their own ordinary activity.

To see that It’s All Good is easy
If you don’t care too much one way or the other.
If you don’t cling or reject or experience emotional extremes, None of it is hidden; it is all obvious. Stray from this the tiniest amount And you’ve missed it by a mile.
