Playing Basketball
Making baskets all day long
Triple double life
Swishes, dunking, three pointers
Rebounds, stealing, and assist
Life has suffering Meditation is peaceful Japan mixed beliefs Shintoist value kami Buddhist search for inner peace
Playing Clash Royale
Takes time to learn strategy
Goblin Barrels fly
Legendary cards are rare
Triple Crowns are super fun
Happiness exist
Sometimes sadness overcomes us
We search for ways out
We realize pain is short lived
Good times will return again
Fall leaves change colors
Drifting through the air by winds
Landing gracefully
Covering grounds with color
Crunching under people’s feet
Japanese buildings
Buddhist stupas, India
Pagodas, China
Similar designs exist
Borrowing useful structures
