Dear Jacqulyn, you've become our ancestor,

Showing us the way, quietly departing 

Into the ultimate, preparing

To release the ego, as we practice

To follow your lead, in this final ceremony.

Gently you show us to our places, allowing

Each to discover our part in harmony,

Opening our heart, while seeming to do

Nothing. Dragon Sister, we fly with you

in boundless emptiness, not far behind,

Until we too ripen and settle in

To join the cosmic ceremony. Gate, gate,

Paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha!

Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha!

Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha!

Go well, dear sister.
