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

In the depths of my being, shadows reside,
Inner demons lurking, fears I cannot hide.
In the realm of hell, I confront them face to face,
Seeking liberation, embracing divine grace.

My inner demons, like specters in the night,
Haunt my thoughts, fueling my inner fight.
They whisper doubts, sow seeds of despair,
But I refuse to let them define or ensnare.

I acknowledge their presence, these shadows within,
For in their darkness lies a lesson to begin.
They reflect my fears, my insecurities unveiled,
But facing them head-on, I shall not be derailed.

I dive deep into the caverns of my soul,
Exploring the origins, unraveling the whole.
With courage as my armor, I uncover their roots,
Unmasking their illusions, dispelling their pursuits.

Each demon I face, a step towards liberation,
A triumph over fears, a profound transformation.
I embrace the discomfort, the uncertainty and pain,
For within lies the catalyst for growth I attain.

Through self-reflection and self-compassion’s embrace,
I navigate the labyrinth, finding solace and grace.
I confront my shadows with love and understanding,
Transmuting their darkness into light so commanding.

Confronting my inner demons, I reclaim my power,
Transforming their energy in this transformative hour.
No longer held captive by their grip so tight,
I rise from the depths, embracing my inner light.

I recognize that these shadows, though they may persist,
Do not define me, for I am more than their twist.
With every step forward, I transcend and evolve,
Confronting my inner demons, my spirit resolves.

In this journey of self-confrontation and release,
I find freedom, joy, and inner peace.
Transforming my fears into courage’s flame,
I transcend my limitations, no longer the same.

So let us confront our inner demons, one by one,
Acknowledging their presence, for the work is not done.
With resilience and love, we rewrite our story,
Confronting our shadows, embracing newfound glory.
