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

In the depths of my being, I seek a source,
A wellspring of fulfillment, a sacred force.
No longer swayed by external acclaim,
I embark on a journey to find my own flame.

I release chains of seeking validation,
Embrace self-realization, my foundation.
In this realm of self-discovery,
Lies enduring fulfillment’s treasury.

Turning inward, diving deep into my soul,
Exploring, seeking to make me whole.
Practices nurture growth, self-acceptance I sow,
Quiet reflection guides, direction starts to show.

Honoring desires, passions, and dreams,
No longer suppressed, bursting at the seams.
Whispers of authenticity lead the way,
Towards fulfillment’s true wealth, come what may.

Celebrating victories, no matter how small,
Progress acknowledged, embracing them all.
Each step forward, humble as it may be,
A testament to growth and resilience, I see.

Surrounded by a supportive tribe,
Uplifting and inspiring, love imbibe.
Encouragement and trust, their presence bestowed,
A community that believes, my path they’ve sowed.

Redefining success on my own terms,
No more bound by society’s fleeting norms.
True fulfillment lies in alignment with my truth,
Living authentically, embracing the wisdom of my youth.

Cultivating gratitude for the journey I’ve trod,
Lessons learned, easy and hard.
Embracing the present, finding joy here and now,
Letting go of worries, releasing the need to bow.

In this search for fulfillment, I find,
Growth is a process, continually entwined.
Remaining open to change, embracing the unknown,
Transformation is where my true self has grown.

So, on this inward quest, I embark,
To find fulfillment, leaving no stone in the dark.
In self-satisfaction and personal growth,
Unearthing the essence of my worth.

I am the author of my fulfillment’s tale,
Self-acceptance and nourishment prevail.
With an open heart, I set myself free,
Living a life of fulfillment, authentically me.
