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

In the realm of Hungry Ghosts, desire consumes,
Ambitions drive us, leading to yearning that looms.
But fulfillment lies not in external praise,
It’s found in the journey, in authentic ways.

Our cravings can blind us, seeking more and more,
Yet contentment is found in what we have at our core.
Balancing growth and savoring the present,
Embracing ambition with a heart that’s content.

In this realm, we find that true fulfillment is free,
Not letting desires define us, but being authentically me.
So, I navigate with care, honoring my ambitions,
Seeking inner growth and embracing life’s radiance.

Guided by poetry’s light, I embrace my desires,
Balancing them with contentment that inspires.
In this dance, I seek harmony’s embrace,
Weaving together ambition and grace.
