Description: A short poem by Pulitzer Prize poet Mary Oliver to begin the day called The Buddha's Last Instruction. Make of yourself a light, the Buddha said before he died. Think of this every morning as the east begins to tear off its many clouds of darkness. Be touched everywhere by its ocean of yellow waves. Feel yourself turning into something of inexplicable value.
