Wishing you a happy Losar
as our young ones debate
memorize
And venture out to Jang Kung Choe to sharpen their logic
under coconuts
and mango trees
abbots scrutinize
and young ones challenge
teachers teach
and wise ones explain
a novice learns the alphabet
to eventually know what's true
and what is not
to be worshiped
or used to worship
to propitiate
and to develop our hearts
and minds
to make our way to enlightenment
