Gewa == virtue
Mi-gewa == non-virtue
Virtue is when noble acts
performed spontaneously
prepare you for the good life.
Which one you for?
Avidya == ignorance
Vidya == wisdom
Ignorance is not seeing the truth;
Wisdom is seeing with a clear mind.
Which one you for?
Skandha == the five aggregates
When one believes he has wisdom
while faith in self and other is strong,
ignorance coalesces
in each of five simple steps of
form, sensation, perception,
impulses, and consciousness.
Thus is suffering understood
within the context of experience.
Experience thus prepares
each of us to realize
primordial wisdom,
the mind pure and serene.
All it takes is meditation.
Atman == self and other
Anatta == no-self
Smash faith in self and other
until it is like finely ground sesame;
this is the essence of no-self.
This is the reason for meditation.
Which one you for?

Inspired by the Journey to the West, Gandhara is devoted to both Western and Eastern Truth.
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ - Hail the Lord whose name eliminates spiritual darkness.
Om Ganeshaya Namaha (ॐ गणेशाय नमः) - Homage to Ganesha.
Unconditional love tranquilizes the mind, and thus conquers all.
