Out of pain and into bliss
I stand on the abyss

Just one step over the edge
And the body will release its hold
My hands feel so cold
As I peer over the ledge

Kaleidoscope of colored light
I no longer fight
Visions of bodhisattvas
And the eyes of my Teacher
Calling me, pointing the Way

Ten thousand seekers stand behind me
In the safety of woods and sea
Forever drowning in samsara

After one last look back
I turn to face the light
And let go
Of all I know
Of all I desire
Of all I think I am

Opening to the bliss
I enter the heart of my Teacher
And leave the world of pain
