NIRVANAS ENDLESS DAY

Music: Traditional// Lyrics: D. Hunt

Long have we sought for Truths Bright Light,
Long have we wondered 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,
To Buddhas Holy Law is found.
Where shall we learn that Law sublime,
Which leads us on the peace divine?
To Buddhas Holy Law we turn,
The path of Truth and Peace to learn.
Why must we wonder 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 prey that we may find,
The strength to break the chains that bind?
By each one must the race 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 in the Dharmas Noble way,
Well reach Nirvanas endless Day.

THE BODHISATTVA
Lyrics: Sujatha Hettiarachchi///Music: Victor Wee
Let me a pure white lotus be
Unfolding in Samsaras stream,
Let all the gloom of misery
Be gathered in my lotus dream;
Let each dew drop that studded lie
On each white radiant fold,
Reflect the mercy of the law
That turns deaths bliss to gold.

Let every wave that tumbles down,

Their curled slim of wrath, repair
To lotus roots of dusky brown,
In my compassions bounty share.
Let every sparks of vengeance rowed
Round lotus stalks entwine.
And greed and lies transformed by love
In lotus heart enshrine.
When each life drop has sped away
Across my pure white lily door
When I have drained all sorrow may
I speed to deck that lustless floor.
Let every petal softly fold,
In summers golden shine
Retreat to claim the splendid prize
Nirvanas joy last Mine!

Brahma of my heart
Do You remember the night
You lullabied me to sleep
Turning my tears to comfort and to laughter
Do You remember the days
Being the flowers in the sky
You show me wisdom and guide me all the way.
Chorus:
- You have sacrificed for me
Leaving heartprints of Your love
Brahma of my (either Hope or Home), Teacher and my Savior
Youre the Hero of my life
Gave me everything and more
Brahma of my joys, Brahma of my heart I will remember Your Hopes
I will make Your dreams come true
I will turn Your fears into courage and compassion
My promise to take care of You
Share with You all the love I have
Please do believe me. my love for You shines true
Chorus
Brahma of my joys, Brahma of my heart

Happiness is Here and Now

Happiness is here and now.
I have dropped my worries.
Nothing to do. Nowhere to go.
Theres no need for hurry.
Happiness is here and now.
I have dropped my worries.
Something to do. Somewhere to go.
But, theres no need for hurry.
