A BRIEF FANTASY HISTORY OF A HIMALAYAN - THINLEY NORBU

Everything is fantasy created by illusory mind

Everything is fantasy contained within illusory mind

The eternalist view is fantasy to the nihilist The nihilist view is fantasy to the eternalist Both views are fantasy to the Buddhist The past is fantasy since we can't see it now

The future is fantasy since we can't use it now

The present is fantasy since we can't find it now

If everything is fantasy, this history is also fantasy If everything is true, this history is also true So, may you, Lord Buddha, most sublime fantasy

Bless this short fantasy history

Which my fantasy friends asked me to write For the benefit of all sentient being fantasizers
