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

In the realm of shadows, I tread with care,
Seeking redemption, release from despair.
In the hell realm, I confront my past pain,
For in healing’s embrace, true freedom I gain.

Within the depths of my being, scars reside,
Remnants of past wounds, emotions I cannot hide.
Regrets and guilt, like chains, held me tight,
But through healing’s journey, I find my inner light.

I face my traumas, with courage I delve,
Unraveling the layers, allowing myself to heal.
Acknowledging the pain, embracing it with grace,
I reclaim my power, finding solace in this space.

Healing begins with self-compassion’s touch,
Nurturing my wounded parts, with love as such.
I forgive myself for choices made in the past,
Knowing growth and transformation can be amassed.

Through therapy’s guidance, I gain insight and strength,
Unearthing buried truths, allowing them their length.
I confront my shadows, integrating their lessons,
Transforming past wounds into profound blessings.

Mindfulness becomes my refuge and my guide,
Anchoring me to the present, where healing resides.
I embrace my emotions, without judgment or fear,
Honoring their presence, allowing them to clear.

Forgiveness, a balm for the soul’s wounds,
Releasing the burdens, creating space to bloom.
I forgive those who caused me pain and strife,
Not for their sake, but for reclaiming my life.

In the realm of healing, I find redemption’s embrace,
Letting go of the past, stepping into grace.
Embracing my scars as symbols of resilience,
I emerge from the darkness, with newfound brilliance.

Healing is a journey, unique to us all,
A path of self-discovery, where we stand tall.
May we find the courage to confront our pain,
And through healing’s power, our true selves regain.

So let us embark on the transformative quest,
Healing our wounds, finding peace and rest.
For within lies the potential to rise and renew,
Embracing our journey, embracing the true.
