Welcome to my website!

The words shared on this website started as a desire I had to share something that may benefit the world. I hope this website will now bring you enjoyment and benefit.

This year I will be sharing my collection of poems on this website. There are many poems that will be shared every month so please check in to see if there is anything you like.

If you have enjoyed the words here, please share with friends and family who may also appreciate these words. (sharing to family and friends via emails, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber is allowed but do not share to any public groups or websites without permission)

Dedication:

This website is dedicated to seekers of kindness and wisdom, to those who appreciate that our world is all connected, to those who want to reflect on the inner and outer world, to seekers of truth who want to go beyond words and discrimination, to those who are interested in the natural world and protecting it, to those who are looking for something a bit different to ponder on.

Although I am just a lay Buddhist, this site has also been designed as a resource for Dharma teachers and for practitioners of meditation, to people who are interested in mindfulness and transformation, to everyone who are exploring the path of love and understanding.

Last but not least this website is dedicated to my family and my friends - thank you for your love, kindness and support.

🙏

Dedication to the ‘natural’ world:

This website is also dedicated to all species and “non-living” elements that make up this wonderful planet. May the little that I offer here benefit our Natural World.

🙏

Thanks for visiting my website. I hope you have enjoyed and benefited from the words and imagery in these pages.

Best wishes, Luan

About We Inter-Are —

I created these poems for sharing,

I crafted these words for exploring.

I wanted to affirm our good nature,

And share a world most amazing…

Some reflections on interbeing,

On compassion and suffering,

Reflections on various topics,

As well as spontaneous feelings.

To dabble in some awakening,

To discover our discriminations,

To recognise our world of labelling,

Observe our world of impermanence.

It is a chance to reflect on kindness,

On compassion and life’s struggles.

On how we are all deeply connected…

To absolutely everything.

To explore the walls of the mind,

And the barriers of our heart.

How we are not so different after all -

This amazing world of interbeing.

Come explore the nature of words,

And the nature of their meaning.

How the mind runs on endlessly,

Forever swinging , forever moving.

Come and reconnect to nature,

Open our eyes to what is happening.

To hear silent cries of suffering,

From our planet and all beings.

Let us also discover real treasures…

Like our amazing nature of kindness.

Places of love and understanding,

And the joy of mindful breathing.

It is to share with you some gentle steps,

Along flowered paths of awakening.

To take you to dark places of war,

To the place where bombs are falling.

To a land where light is shining,

To many people who are smiling.

To the peace residing within,

To our home of gentle calming.

In these words that are strung together,

Let us go on a fascinating journey.

To a realm that includes all the stars,

To our heart of love and understanding.

Luan V. Dinh — interbeing

If we can see that all things inter-are with each other —  

Then we will not be fooled by the labels of the mind.  

Because all things depend upon all others —  

There cannot be or will ever be a separate I.  

Without a separate I, then all things are inconceivable —  

All things are transient labels of the mind.  

All people are wondrous trails of smoke —  

An endless chain of great mysteries.  

Although we are not exactly the same —  

We are also not totally different.  

We are more than our passing thoughts —  

More than a string of names and labels.  

When we realize our deep connections —  

We understand our non-separation.  

We are an endless river flowing —  

Intermixing with everything.  

With this understanding, we can see —  

All the things that we quarrel about —  

They are like ants on an oak tree,  

A little pebble swirling in the sea.  

Words and descriptions are provisional —  

They can never describe our whole being.  

It is like this with all thoughts and things —  

Intangible and quite magical!  

When we touch our inter-being —  

We realize our great dependence,  

We see that we are not separate,  

We go beyond old illusions.  

Mist and fog will disperse —  

With the rising of the sun.  

Calm lakes and green forests,  

Dark clouds with bright flowers.
