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

In the realm of humanity, I’ve discovered profound truth,
The transformative power of compassion and wisdom, forsooth.
Journeying through hearts, witnessing their arts,
Magic unfolding, shaping compassionate parts.

Compassion, a flame flickers within,
Igniting empathy, erasing boundary and sin.
Softening edges, soothing the pain,
Nurturing growth, a world humane.

Cultivating compassion, looking deep within,
Connecting with struggles, joys, and kin.
Listening without judgment, empathetic ear,
Embracing stories, triumphs, and tears.

Offering solace, a comforting embrace,
A space where burdens find a resting place.
Wisdom, a companion on this journey I tread,
Guiding light, illuminating path ahead.

Emerging from lessons, bitter and sweet,
A tapestry woven with experiences complete.
Cultivating wisdom, seeking insight,
Learning from past, choices taking flight.

Wisdom whispers gently, with grace,
Guiding choices, shaping embrace.
Teaching patience, value of time,
Embracing sublime, a lesson prime.

Compassion and wisdom, intertwined in harmony,
Pillars shaping reality, humanity.
Anchoring spirit, igniting soul’s flame,
Striving for wholeness, growth’s beautiful aim.

Transformative dance, compassion and wisdom’s bond,
Healing, elevating, a power profound.
Cultivating within, contributing to growth,
Seeds of change, humanity’s oath.

Compassion fosters unity, bridge connecting all,
Erasing division, protecting from fall.
Wisdom illuminates path tread,
Guiding steps, as humanity is fed.

Cultivating compassion and wisdom each day,
Embracing teachings, letting them sway.
Keys to personal growth, world’s change in view,
Love’s realm where dreams come true.

Compassion flowing in each interaction,
Wisdom guiding with gentle traction.
Essence of being, beacon of light,
In the realm of humanity’s sight.

Embracing power, compassion and wisdom bloom,
Like blossoming flower, dispelling gloom.
Growing, collective soul unfolds,
Unveiling the beauty that makes us whole.
