The EBT heart sutra
The EBT heart sutra doesn't exist. So lets compose one.
The idea is to summarize the heart/essence of the EBT as concisely as possible, in an easy to memorize composition.
Here's my first attempt:
It starts with the 4.
The 4th slurps in the 8.
Sati remembers Dhamma, the first 2 of the 7.
Sati, The Dragon's head, pokes above the surface of the ocean,
the other 5 segments lurking and now visible.
The powers and faculties,
are simply the Dragon with Saddha as the samadhi nimitta.
Of the four iddhipada, vimamsa is dhamma vicaya and pañña,
while the other 3 are factors in samma padhana.
Those are the 37, the 7 Buddhafication wings of Dharma.
Taking flight and spitting fire,
The Dragon emerges from the ocean of samsara.
If all that is too much to handle,
you only have to remember this holy mantra:
See dukkha clearly,
then let it go.
