Mandala
The helicopter descends,
its blades a whirling mandala
decapitating Buddhas,
making their heads fly.
I treasure the Dharma;
I have followed it forever.
My head is beautiful;
they call it the Great Lotus.
Smiling, I thrust it into
eternity's whirling blades.

Notes: Decapitation is the ultimate liberation. Lose your head.
