I don't want

I don't want my dharma practice to be offering water bowls to pictures of Buddha. I want to clean the water of the world for all beings. I want to protect the water of the world for everyone. I don't want to get rich to eat my parents who are lobsters, shrimp, cows, and chickens. I want to embrace poverty, let the sun nourish me, and know that I am one with all of nature. I don't want to be a high lama who receives offerings of wealth. I want to work the fields of organic farms or gather what nature gives like the birds. I don't want to sit and watch as war destroys the world. I want to protest, petition, write, meditate, pray and not give up until I'm blown away. I don't want to forget my teachers who showed me peace and love. I want to remember.
