practicing the mirror

If I practice seeing the beloved everywhere I look, when I look in the mirror, I will find her there.

What joy to recognize the beloved in the mirror? How honorable to meet the Buddha in the mirror?

If I practice seeing the Buddha in every one, when I look in the mirror, I will see him there.

What joy to recognize the Buddha in the mirror…how honorable to meet the beloved in the mirror…

If I practice allowing others to be themselves and I practice being me, when I look in the mirror I will see who I am… the beloved and the Buddha; and we three are one.
