When you reach Nirvana

When you reach Nirvana

When you reach Nirvana,
the perfect state of enlightenment,
you will touch the vault
of the celestial ceiling,
in a nuclear fusion of white light…

White light
of all compassionate bodhisattvas,
who returned to existential reality
to relieve your suffering in samsara…

You will feel the immensity of the light
and the supreme energy
of the vital plasma
that radiates from the Great Central Sun…

And you will fly free,
like a transparent arrow,
in a sweet flight
of white gulls towards Brahma,
in the sacred lands of the Himalayas…
