The Road to Nirvana

Some progress fast

Others progress slowly

Let the fast ones not look down

On those who walk slowly

Does it matter

If you take a trillion kalpas

To attain Nirvana?

If you’re sure of the journey

The time is not a problem

Did the Buddha ever say

You must arrive within a certain time?

Or the gate will be closed?

Ksitigarbha said he would wait

Until the hell is totally empty

Before he attains Nirvana.

I wouldn’t dare to try

Such an ambitious vow.

Just in case you believe

I’m talking nonsense

The more we advance in technologies,

The better we’ll be able to understand

the teachings of the Buddha.

Comment by Poh Tiong Ho on November 25, 2014 at 10:09pm: How do you de-stress? Headache, anxiety, & depression are very common. Before you run into the psychiatrist’s clinic, why not try meditation? Meditation calms your nerve, and can take you to something beyond death, space and time. It is definitely not nothingness outside the space and time dimensions. When a person takes up meditation, happiness depends less and less on things outside. Only meditation can take you to something beyond death, space and time. Outside the space and time dimensions is Nibbana.
