Ladder of Jewels

I am the ladder of Jewels for the Buddha’s descent from heaven,

I am the Buddha descending on the ladder down to earth

to offer compassion and the teachings, I am the beings

in each of the six realms of Samsara, who immediately

apprehend each other and are deeply stirred to awaken

I am receptive to a full spectrum of light. I am cross pollinated

by many wisdom teachings disseminated by the wise ones

who come and go like the wind, I honor all perspectives.

I appreciate all the various names that the one God-goddess

has acquired through time and human cultures

I am remembering the golden spine inside of its bony housing.

I always reside in the temple of my body. I make offerings of myself.

I made these offerings to him when he came to me here.
