84,000 Dharma doors

It is through the sensual world
that we have means of accessing the infinite.
It is beyond the sensual world
that we have means of accessing the infinite.
84,000 Dharma doors
inviting a way in
to the Ultimate dimension.
A world of joy, contentment,
well-being and peace,
deep, inner peace
unaffected by the comings
and goings of the historical dimension.

84,000 Dharma doors
as a means of accessing the
Ultimate dimension,
much closer than we tend to think.

Everything I have written about
is a Dharma door,
every raindrop,
every cold wind,
every crescent moon,
every autumn leaf.

84,000 Dharma doors.
84,000 ways of dropping into the
quiet pool of nowness,
of leaving behind the ruminating mind
and being present.

84,000 ways of letting the
hubbub of daily life fall away
and sinking, pebble-like,
into the noiseless space
at the bottom of the ocean.

84,000 Dharma doors
how many have you accessed?
