Made up faces with made up minds.
Made up lives out of made up times.

The BuddhaDharma invites suffering actors
to take off the mental makeup that determines
the karmic characters they are pretending to be.
Suffering is so pretentious!

Sitting still in zazen actor-practicers observe
the sentient beings making up their minds
and simply stop rehearsing these characteristic lines
letting them fade away as they practice The Only Way.

I comes into existence as a collection of self identified sentient
beings.
I goes out of existence when Truth releases these sentient beings.
Now nobody cares for me—poor me withers away.
Good Riddance!
