I seek to know what’s truth and fact.
I need no man or god to keep me on the right track.
I don’t believe everything people say.
Truth will guide my way.
I will not fall into fear or be made to believe.
Life is not as they perceive.
I know only I can end my sorrow,
by seeking truth into the morrow.
Truth will always prevail.
So I set sail,
Off to find myself and what I can do,
I seek to know all that is good and true.
Incarcerated people
Many incarcerated people from all over the United States correspond with Venerable Thubten Chodron and monastics from Sravasti Abbey. They offer great insights into how they are applying the Dharma and striving to be of benefit to themselves and others in even the most difficult of situations.
