In July 1990, Lama Zopa Rinpoche composed this poem to be displayed in the office of Karuna Hospice in Australia.Â
I want my skin to be a house,
My bones to be machines for comfort,
My blood to be nectar and swimming pools,
My internal organs to be beautiful flowers and gardens,
My senses to be blissful objects and for them only to experience bliss (like the senses of fully Enlightened beings),
My heart to be a wish-granting jewel that fulfills temporary and ultimate wishes.
I make this offering to the patients of the hospice;
by this cause may they reach to the state where even the name of suffering does not exist.
Be the first to hear about our special classes, events, and retreats!
