Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

In the looking glass, I peer into the unknown,
A reflection of influence, seeds I have sown.
To witness the ripples, the impact of my way,
How my actions, my words, shape another’s day.

It’s humbling to fathom the reach of my hand,
How a simple gesture, a word, can expand.
The power to uplift, to ignite a spark,
To leave an imprint, even in the dark.

Through my creations, through each stroke of art,
I touch lives, stirring emotions from the heart.
A painting that evokes, a melody that moves,
The power to inspire, to help others choose.

To know that my words, my actions, hold sway,
That they ripple through time, impacting the way,
Others see the world, find courage to be,
A reminder of the power within, setting them free.

Influence carries weight, a responsibility,
To use it wisely, with love and humility.
To leave a positive mark, a legacy of care,
To uplift and empower, hearts and minds to bear.

It’s a reminder that we’re all interconnected,
A tapestry of lives, by influence affected.
For our actions have echoes that resonate,
Creating a ripple effect, shaping fate.

To contemplate the ripple effects of my being,
Fills my heart with gratitude, a sense of meaning.
To know that I have the power to make a change,
To touch a life, to inspire and rearrange.

So, I embrace this influence with mindful intent,
To spread love, compassion, wherever I’m sent.
To leave a legacy of kindness, of joy,
To make a difference, each day I employ.

For the looking glass reflects the truth of my sway,
The impact of my actions, rippling away.
It fills me with purpose, with hope and desire,
To use my influence to ignite a fire.

For in each small action, each word, each deed,
I hold the power to plant a transformative seed.
To make the world brighter, one step at a time,
Knowing my influence can transcend space and time.
