Bodhisattva's Song

[Guest guest]

The Bodhisattva's Song written by Chandragomi.

 

The Dali Lama often recites this song. I have included a picture of a

Bodhisattva for it so very beautiful.

Even a cow knows how

To take care of himself,

To eat a few clumps of grass

He easily comes across;

 

Even the beast can merrily drink

From a pool of water he finds

As bitter thirst

Torments him.

 

But think now what it is

To put your whole heart

Into taking care of others;

 

This is glory,

This is a park of pleasure,

This is the ultimate.

 

The Sun

Climbs abord his fantastic chariot,

Flies across the sky,

Lights up all the world.

 

The Earth

Raises up her mighty arms,

Bears the load,

Holds up all mankind.

 

And so is the way

Of those great beings

Who wish nothing

For themselves,

 

Their lives devoted

To a single song:

The well-being and happiness

Of every living thing.

 

 

May all being be lifted up.

In Beauty, In Goodness, In Love
