I’ve run out of my favourite charcoal and so until I can get
some more I’ve been playing with the drawings on the computer. And as I was
working "The Diamond Sutra” kept popping into my mind.
From Thich Nhat
Hanh
Opening Gatha
How may we overcome the fear of birth and death
and arrive at the state that is as indestructible as a
diamond?
What way can direct us in our practice
to sweep away our thousands of illusions?
If the awakened mind shows its compassion
and opens up for us the treasure store,
then we may bring into our lives
the wonderful diamond teachings.
And goes on to say
All conditioned phenomena
Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow,
Like dew or a flash of lightning;
Thus we shall perceive them.”
