Done in a crowd, it’s not singular
Asking for help, it’s not independent
Dissolving, it’s not permanent
Reminders when taking refuge
Of ego’s deceiving falsehood
Shimmering, transparent but clear
Teeming with multiplicity, yet one
Pure streaming rays of wisdom love
Reminders when taking refuge
That things are not as they appear
Vast tree unfolding in mind’s eye
Wise guides materialize, their blessings felt
The scene dissolves at will, the echo fades
Reminders when taking refuge
That mind is the architect of reality
