I quite liked this poem of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche's when I first read it a few years ago:


Heaven


So blue is the ocean,
Infinite is the mind.
So bright are the heavens,
Luminous is the mind.

Expanse of heaven
Meets with deep blue ocean.
Union at horizon
Takes me beyond breath.

Heaven is bullshit.
And hell the religion of fear.
Man needs no God
Freedom is innate.

Composed July 13, 1997, Canada.
