THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM “A poem expressing my gratitude toward all of My spiritual teachers who took me under their Wing and taught me how to spread my wings And use life itself as spiritual path and inner flight” This morning begins in the darkness And silence behind closed eyes— And yet as soon as I wake up I begin singing and seeking for the way Higher on the inner paths To the eternal light within. I bow at the feet of All my teachers who so kindly And patiently taught me how to Rise up out of the darkness Into the luminous inner light. I joyfully do my best to Follow in their footsteps through Doing the daily work of the dharma path— Entering my inner world through the Gate of intensely focused meditation and Incandescent prayer while chanting My sweet mantra “Om Mani Paydmeh Hung”, Singing my heart’s love songs to the Divine, Constantly watching my mind and gently shifting All thoughts to love, peace and clarity How dreary and bleak life would be Without the gifts of spiritual flight I received so many years ago from My teachers who selflessly dedicated Every moment, thought and breath To serving others day and night By teaching this deep and potent dharma That I use every day to find my way Out of darkness and back into the light. Without my teacher’s dedication and grace My life would be one of meaningless desolation Without purpose, power, meaning or direction— But instead of this desert, my life is a lush garden Because I spent many years at the feet Of my teachers as an eager and sincere disciple. I now have the keys to the kingdom And all the tools and deeper understandings To continuously and consciously walk forward— , Ever higher, ever clearer, ever brighter On this sweet dharma path, Making good use of every experience, Ever seeking to fulfill the purposes of this birth— Just as my own teachers have done, Giving me the inspiration and the power To break through all this world’s darkness And suffering into the realm of peace and freedom Of my own inner light and pure consciousness.
