VAJRA BODHI SEA

VOLUME II
SERIES 4, NO. 19
 

The Green Lotus Flower Hand
Being mindful of the Buddha, mindful of the Dhatma, and mindful of the holy Sangha,
One may ascend to the jeweled lotuses in the Buddhalands of the ten directions.
One is free to go anywhere, going and coming in the space of a ksana.
When the flower opens, the Buddha appears; the fruit of enlightenment is completed.
