From a life of privilege to one more common,

the sacrifice and message are never forgotten.

Here’s how to escape greed and illusion,

work with the masses, no need for seclusion.

Practice compassion, mindfulness and karma,

for free, with love, from Siddhartha Gautama!

PS – The image used with this poem is one of my favourites, the Buddha appears female and has a nose ring!
