Awaken Me

Physically present,
the awakened one within me.

Bowing down before the awakened one within you,
a Buddha meets a Buddha, they say.

Awakening meeting itself
Everything then is only awakening.

By sanpai*,
I awaken
I awaken you
you awaken
you awaken me.

*Triple prostration in the Zen tradition
