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

In the dance between ambition and contentment,
I seek harmony, a sacred agreement.
Within my aspirations and present sensations,
I find solace, embracing both foundations.

Ambition propels me forward, ignites my flame,
Guiding me towards the fulfillment of my name.
But in pursuit, I honor the present’s roles,
Contentment’s reminder, the present’s sacred tolls.

Balance is found within the journey’s grace,
Fulfillment in the process, steps I embrace.
I celebrate milestones, each small win,
Gratitude blossoms, letting my spirit begin.

With an open hand, I hold my ambitions high,
Detached, navigating, allowing growth nearby.
Mindfulness nurtured, immersed in the now,
Contentment in simplicity, nature’s gentle bow.

Self-compassion cherished, imperfections embraced,
Worth rooted in essence, unique expression traced.
Inspiration in others’ journeys I perceive,
But comparison released, my path I believe.

In life’s tapestry, ambition and contentment intertwine,
Peace within my soul, dreams and goals align.
With gratitude and presence, I navigate each day,
Finding fulfillment in every step, along the way.
