My Greatest Masther The New Joy

My Greatest Mother

By Sister Initiate Yuan-Feng, Warsaw, Poland

(Originally In Au Lacese)

 
 
If Mother is the wind,
I shall be a cloud
Flying through the sky,
Frolicking in exotic realms
And travelling to my Father's land.

If Mother is the ocean,
I shall be a shallopˇ°
Crossing over the sea of love
To the shore of enlightenment
Out of the circle of transmigration.

If Mother is the crescent,
I shall be the Altairˇ°ˇ°
Kneeling before the Bodhi tree
Praying for the world to practice this extraordinary method.

If Mother is the light,
I shall be a mirror
Reflecting Her light onto the spiritual path
And radiating Her endless love to humanity.

I shall be all and I shall learn all.
I shall take all that Mother has bestowed upon me,
For Mother, my greatest Mother,
I shall follow You forever.

ˇ°very small boat
ˇ°ˇ°the star separated from its lover (Chinese mythology)

A New Joy

By Sister Initiate P. Diep, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.

(Originally In English)

Dedicated to my Master, Supreme Master Ching Hai
 
 
Come and share my joy with me
Life is graced with a new carefree feeling
In the valley the lilies dance
In a joyful symphony.

Come and celebrate with me
The birth of a new King to be
In the meadows the daffodils bow
In simple harmony.

Far above, the stars twinkle brightly
Through the sky the comets fly
Chirping merrily, the birds sing in the trees
Like thousands of lanterns in the night,
The fireflies beckon exuberantly
To rejoice in the coming of the Light.

Come and dance the night away
Love has come to our world to stay.
