I'm not going to rate a religious text. As poetry, this is beautiful. As a religious text, I was a bit lost. I've been a practicing Buddhist for many years now, but I must have missed something along the way. Unless it is just the different sects of Buddhism that create my confusion, I clearly need more teachings in Buddhism to fully grasp what is being said here. Perhaps I am not close to reaching nirvana and just need another few cycles of life. Or else it was just my attention and mental state in this moment that prevents me from fully understanding what is being said. I am glad I read this. I am glad I have a copy to revisit in the future. I am just not sure I was ready for this at this time.
