NIRVANAS ENDLESS DAY

Long have we searched for Truths Bright Light Long have we wandered in the night? Lord Buddha hath found the Holy Way That leads from night to Endless Day When shall we find the road to peace? When earthly strife and hatred cease? O weary soul that peace profound In Buddhas Holy Law is found. Where shall we learn that Law sublime, Which leads us on to peace divine? To Buddhas Holy Law we turn To Path of Truth and peace to learn. Why must we wander many a year? In pain and misery and fear The Eightfold Path of wondrous wealth Is hidden by the love of self And must we pray that we may find The strength to break the chains that bind? By each one must the way be run And not by prayer is freedom won Whence comes the suffering of this life How can we end our state of strife? By Buddhas Law is justice known For each must reap what each has sown With love that never more shall wane Well praise Lord Buddhas Holy name And each in Dharmas Noble Way Well reach Nirvanas Endless Day

A WESAK TALE
With this Wesak crowd, A woman winds her way, A shawl thrown on her shoulder, Of weary limb and grey. She has lost her only son, Two weeks ago today, The tears do flow so freely, This holy Wesak day. She lights her little lamp, She burned the scented sticks, She places blooms on altar, Then kneels on marble bricks. She hears the Masters word, Repeated by the monk, All will pass away, We are as people drunk. We are but clay that melts, Our deeds alone remain The rest will always perish Until Nirvana gain. To day we live, next day We die as all things born, But actions as our Karma We reap what we have sown. Her eyes were dry, she felt The dream of life a farce, Only good and noble action Would to nothingness pass.

THE FLOWER OR MANKIND

Rohini rippled its water Tinged with the moonlit tide, Mountainous high Sumeru Gazed on with wondering pride. Planets in their starry orbits, Stopped for a while in pace, Gods in their shaken heavens Down to the earth they race. Birds in their flaming feathers, Beasts in their vests of gold, Fish on the waters surface Make themselves dare to be bold. Skies gray have lost their darkness, Silverd moon shines in state, Lotuses open in glory, Honouring Gautama great. Hes sunderd lifes big secret, Hes measured lifes big dawn, He knows the way and watchword, Flower of mankind is born.

WESAK DAWN
Wesak dawn has paced in softly, Tip-toed thro the moonlit night, Breathed the flowers and incense smoking, Laughed thro bars of purple light. Birds you now to waken gently, Lift your troubled eyes of sleep, Tendring thoughts of homage holy, Cross Samsaras Ocean deep. To the one who taught the Dhamma, Of the Noble Eightfold Way, To the Buddha, dearest sister, Lift your tender mind today. Wesak dawn has paced in softly, Tip-toed thro the moonlit night, Breathed the flowers and incense smoking, Laughed thro bars of purple light.

WE SHALL ALL BE OVERCOME

We shall all overcome We shall all overcome We shall all overcome the greed in us We shall all overcome We shall all overcome We shall all overcome the hate in us. We shall conquer illusion And find true liberty That which leads us through this Troubled Sea We shall go beyond the Shore Be peaceful evermore Cos we cry and sigh no more Then together well see Everlasting Peace When all our fear and worry cease We shall all overcome We shall all overcome We shall all overcome the fear in us We shall all overcome We shall all overcome We shall all overcome the doubts in us. Clear away our minds confusion Ever watchful till the end Bravely walk our way to Freedom Land We shall dwell in peace and love Rejoicing evermore Rejoicing, weve found the Law By this Law we shall live Thro this Law we shall see The joy and peace of being free.

MORTAL AND IMMORTAL

How sweetly bloom the cherry trees Beneath the April sky! But soon, too soon, their brightness wanes For they must fade an die And their petals bright Soon in the ground we find For while the world doth sleep There comes the midnight wind So is the heart that seeks for peace Within this world of strife For many are mans woes below In this, our mortal life And when all seems delight And hours of bliss we find Through our frail trees of life There blows the midnight wind Tis true the mortal life is sad And quickly passes by But still abides the ancient gleam Of Truth that cannot die For when selfs flower id dead Its petal blown away Well see the glorious Light Of Truths eternal day

THE LAW OF KARMA

Whet eer ye sow that shall ye reap Such is the Law Divine Think not that thou canst eer escape The Karma which is thine The present is the true result Of actions all our own The sower always reaps the fruits Of seeds which he has sown The Law is ever just and true And all must surely bear The strict result of every act For none the Law can spare Weep not for what is past and gone For it cannot return This is the teaching Buddha gave For all His sons to learn Do not despair, the future still Is thine to mar or make Sow then today good seeds and pure And reap their harvest great The goal divine still shines afar All may this goal attain When they have learned good seeds to sow And things of self have slain

FARE-YE-WELL
My fond young wife, oh fare-ye-well I leave your side to come again A sage of sages, king of kings This holy hour thro full of pain The palace vast is small to me I cannot breathe nor lie at rest The vaster world bids me to leave This vanity for what is best So fare thee well, my only son Reclining in the mothers arms I go to build the realm of truth Hence leave I all with folded palms And mount my horse and fly thru Time To conquer pain and birth and death To find a way to reach that Bliss I leave behind this passing wealth! My fond young wife, oh fare-ye-well I leave your side to come again A sage of sages, king of kings This holy hour thro full of pain
