Religious Aberration

[Guest guest]

Broken Monolith

 

At the hands of the ignorant

You have suffered severely

O monolith, of high standing

Strange! You still pardon their folly

 

Like you, the tormentors will also go

To be lost in the turmoil of history

But broken rocks would continue to remind

That large-hearted Tathagata's glory

 

The statues always end as ruins

That may be their destiny or fate

But can essence be ever destroyed

Of compassionate Buddha, the Great!
