Vows of Leadership

Leaders vow to penetrate the intrinsic nature of things and see all situations as pure; they vow to develop knowledge of nondifferentiation, entering all fields in one field.

Pollinators

Hum softly, Trochilidae, and
fan the scent of Buddleia,
as young Sudhana sipped
sweet nectars of the Buddha.

Wing swiftly, Lepidoptera, to
remind of metamorphosis,
the fractal stage of chrysalis,
the cosmic net of Indra.

Inspired by "Entry into the Realm of Reality," the story of Sudhana's path to enlightenment, in The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Thomas Cleary

Understanding right and wrong timing in the world,
Leaders civilize beings according to necessity,
In every case adapting to their needs.
