In Gratitude & Appreciation for the Life of Lama Lena

Timeless essence of Buddha Mind
Dancing in the embrace of female form
Though the indivisible diamond single eye is bound by no form:
Coffee drinking, bawdy, warm without contrivance,
The Guru dances and sparkles as the personality we callLama Lena.

Vast activity, shinning the doorway for all Buddhas that are Awakening,
She points the way by sometimes kicking a butt,
Slapping a grasping tendency,
Or holding a hand compassionately.

We pray that our heartfelt devotion
Fills to overflowing the vase of her long, healthy, and happy life.

May all her aspirations be quickly fulfilled.
May her light and vitality delight in all directions.
And may she be blessed through the wish fulfilling gem,
To lead others to where the Buddhas rest and manifest.

Lama Lena, we bow in gratitude and appreciation
For your Wisdom eye
And thank you for pointing and gazing towards, within, and around,
The me’s and we’s.

May grace waves of blessings carry you forward
To your spaceship adventures
And may we all boldly go with you, dear Lama.
