The Method Matters  

 

Wrong way! At best it goes away, makes you crazy.
Serves you right, selling goodness till it’s no good:
Good things, grasped by fools, turn into hurts and
Messes every time — see for yourself if you don’t believe.

Right way! Madness disappears and it all turns good
From nasty demons into the most beautiful humans.
Nasty things taken up by good folks change their spots
Into something good — it happens more than you think!

Find the way! Don’t despair, don’t be put off
Because foolishness or fearfulness lead the way;
If one creates most supremely the Buddha’s Way
Transforming worldly things into spiritual —
suffering ends, friend!
