After this experience, I wrote a series of poems that can be used any time, but especially when walking or breathing is challenging.

Let the Buddha breathe,

Let the Buddha walk.

I don’t have to breathe,

I don’t have to walk.

The Buddha is breathing,

The Buddha is walking.

I enjoy the breathing,

I enjoy the walking.

Buddha is the breathing,

Buddha is the walking.

I am the breathing,

I am the walking.

There is only the breathing,

There is only the walking.

There is no one breathing,

There is no one walking.

Peace while breathing,

Peace while walking.

Peace is the breathing,

Peace is the walking.”
