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

Stepping beyond the realm of Titans, I move ahead,

Carrying wisdom acquired, in my heart it is spread.

Embracing diversity’s embrace, a compass to grace,

Guiding me on a path where unity finds its place.

 

Lessons from varied perspectives, treasures I hold,

Shaping my journey, as life’s stories unfold.

Each encounter an opportunity to grow and learn,

To navigate challenges with discernment’s return.

 

Respect, a radiant light that illuminates the way,

Honoring the beauty in each person’s unique array.

Appreciating the tapestry of cultures and beliefs,

Enriching my existence, as unity finds relief.

 

Understanding, a compass that steadies my course,

Guiding me through uncertainties, with its force.

For in understanding, bridges are meticulously built,

Uniting hearts and minds, fostering harmony’s quilt.

 

These cherished stepping stones, firmly in my grasp,

Guide my steps, dispelling doubt’s lingering rasp.

They strengthen my spirit, shape my very core,

Preparing me for the journey, forevermore.

 

As challenges emerge on the path I tread,

I’ll hold fast to these values, no matter how dread.

Respect, appreciation, understanding as my guide,

They’ll shine a light, bolster my stride.

 

Embracing diversity’s grand and embracing call,

I become part of humanity’s unified sprawl.

With open heart and mind, I’ll strive to be,

An agent of change, fostering unity’s decree.

 

So let these stepping stones be my constant light,

As I embark on this extraordinary flight.

With respect, appreciation, and understanding true,

I’ll embrace challenges, forever renew.
