Life and Soul

Vipassana

Back to wouldn’t hurt a fly
Up in northern meditation style
The quest for insight takes another step
With me realizing that I need to prep
To stay with the monks for a full 26 days
Vipassana meditation way
Up a four am with the need to pray
mindfulness to how to sit and walk
No allowance to discuss and talk
Just for one-self this special path
Looking deep inside for truths that last
All based upon the eight tasks
From Buddha with joy we show
For to live as such is to know
To refrain from destroying any living creature
To refrain from taking what is not given
To refrain from any kind of erotic behaviour
To refrain from incorrect speech, not cleaver
To refrain from intoxicating liquor or drugs
To refrain from eating at wrong times as on a whim
To refrain from dancing, singing, music, going to shows
Or wearing garlands & beautifying woes
To refrain from sleeping on high or luxurious beds
If you can abide by these let yourself be led
Our journey inside, no deception, soul fed
Nibbana the place where no-thing hides
