The Many & The One

The Many & The One

The many returns to the one for wisdom,
But got lost along the way.
Lost, distracted, suffering in the wilderness of samsara,
How are they going to return to the one?

Responding to the calls for help,
The one returns to the many.
Diving into the depths of samsara,
How can one save them all?

Many and one.
Wisdom and compassion.
Form and emptiness.
Fingers and hand.

Different,
and yet in essence
the same.

The many returns to the one.
The one returns to the many.
How does the many return to the one?
How does the one return to the many?
Only don't know – just do it,
Like this – BAM!
