- The
Bodhisattva with the Sword of Discriminating Wisdom

-
- The
perception of truth is not for all minds
-
- These
are the qualities which force its exclusion:
- Desire,
greed, ignorance, pride,
- Joy
in sensation, love of the past, fear for the future,
- Anger
at the present, the inability to see clearly
-
- These
are the qualities which bring it nearer:
- Hope,
joy in change, love of the many
- Creative
action, individual growth, acceptance of new ideas
- The
ability to understand potential
-
- These
are the qualities when truth is here:
- Acceptance
of all form as having equal reality
- Clear
vision over long distances,
- Love
of all things and non-things.
- Joy
in what is.
-
- With
my sword I strike down those who presume to travel
- to
places forbidden to them
- I
decide the worthiness of an adept, the talent of a master
- the
distance both may travel
- My
book records the karma of each whose deeds
- determine
the world which they shall inhabit
-
- I
guard the door to Truth unending
- Neither
mercy nor power shall move me from my decisions
- I
wear the robes of judge and jury
- Across
the abyss I hold my golden ladder to aid the worthy
- While
the unworthy who try to cross
- Find
only shifting sands within their grasp.
-
- I am
blue and gold and also white I bend neither to the right nor the left
- If
you wish to ascend to truth, then you must do these:
- Look
deep within your heart
- Feel
the many chains which bind you, hold you like an anchor
- To
the planes of illusion
- Not
one link will I allow to pass the sacred gates.
-
- Impartial
understanding, great in the wisdom of many worlds
- Only
these do I allow to pass
- That
they may have wisdom to trade
- For
Truth.
-
- No
dramas, no mantras, no striving will I let by me
- Those
who are ready shall pass
- The
rest shall strive, dissatisfied and fight among themselves
- Letting
their true natures come to the surface
- And
wonder
- Why
was I not chosen?
-
- You
who wish to ascend follow the path
- To
the cave of loneliness, in the mountains of the self
- And
when you have found the Hidden
- Return
to me and I shall bless you
- And
point you on your way.
