Riff on the Heart Sutra

By Timothy Bovee

Born 1946


Ah. Vah. Loh. Kee.
Tesh. Vah. Rah.
Raise your voice this day.

Drop some gems of
Buddha's joy.
Say what you must say.

Form. Is. Emptiness!

gone gone
gone beyond
altogether gone beyond

gone together
beyond gone
together gone beyond

gone beyond
beyond gone
gone gone beyond gone

Emptiness. Is. Form!

gone beyond
gone beyond
beyond beyond gone

beyond gone
beyond gone
gone gone beyond

begone yond
yond begone
be all yonder gone

Awakening!

gone gone
gone beyond
altogether beyond gone

gone gone
gone beyond
altogether gone beyond

gone gone
gone beyond
gone altogether beyond

Hooray!

gone gone gone beyond gone gone gone gone gone
