LIFE NEVER DIES Wayfarers
Life never dies, although we live.
In midst of change and death,
Only the forms shall pass away.
And not the spirit's breath.
The consciousness can never die.
Although it seems to fade.
It doth but pass to other forms.
Which thoughts and acts have made.
"There is no death" all nature cries.
The rose will reappear.
Its petal will more perfect be.
After the winter drear.
The tiny bird that lifeless falls.
A victim to its prey.
Returns again in higher forms.
Upon its upward way.
From life to life more high and free
The myriads forms evolve
O may we learn to know the truth
This mighty riddle solve.

LIGHT OF ASIA, THE
In the land of the happy Sakyas,
For good and J0Y to all the world of men;
The wisdom-child, that precious jewel,
Unmatched, unrivalled, was born in Lumbini.
We rejoice, we rejoice,
Siddhartha Prince was born;
We rejoice, we rejoice,
the Truth's Eternal Sun.
At twenty nine, He left His kingdom,
His wife, His child, to seek for Truth's bright Light;
He wandered lonely in plain and forest,
To tear the blindfold of dark illusion night.
We rejoice, we rejoice,
The trap of pain to free,
We rejoice, we rejoice,
He rode in victory.
Underneath the Tree of Wisdom,
He sat Himself with folded hands and feet;
With focused mind and perfect wisdom,
The world's deliverance our Teacher had attained.
We rejoice, we rejoice,
The house of life lay broken;
We rejoice, we rejoice,
Our Lord emerged triumphant.
Between two sala trees, in meditation,
Submerged in calmness our Teacher passed away
"Compounded things are all so transient,
Your own salvation with diligence you work".
These were words of our Teacher,
His final words to us;
The Dhamma and the Discipline,
To guide us when He is gone.
The Dhamma and the Discipline,
To guide us when He is gone.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD, THE
When the sun at morn is rising
Shedding round its glorious glow
We to Buddha duty render
With our bodies bending low
When the golden orb rides higher
And at noonday floods the sky
WE in praises of our Master
Raise our voices clear and high
When at eve in flaming glory
Sinks the sun into the west
We give thanks and homage tender
Ere we too go to our rest
When the night on us has fallen
With is welcome sable pall
Buddha's love and His protection
We invoke upon us all
LIGHT OF WISDOM (Chinese Pin-Yin)
D'ferers
Kindly please see "HUI DENG"
LISTEN TO HIS VOICE D. Hunt / GeeBees
Gladly sing the children's voices
In Lord Buddha's temple bright
As they tell the wondrous story
Of His search to find Truth's Light
For how many years He wandered
In the forest dark and vast
Till one night upon His spirit
Wisdom's Holy Light was cast
Beneath the tree, the Master's seated
Found Nirvana's radiant peace
Saw before His eyes the Pathway
Whereby all men's ill shall cease
Oh, what glorious light was shining
From the Lord Buddha's gentle face
As He went to preach salvation
To the people of His race
And the people, when they heard Him
Gladly walked the Eightfold Way
Leading from the realms of darkness
Into everlasting day
So shall we, His little children
Listen to His voice so sweet
As those little Indian children
Whom He gathered at His feet
LITTLE PAL
What I couldn't be little pal,
I want you to be little pal,
I want you to sing, to love and to play,
And be good to mum while dad's away.
CHORUS
Little pal if daddy goes away,
Promise you'll be good from day to day,
Do as mother says and never sin,
Be the man your daddy might have been.
I will pray every night little pa;
That you will come out right, little pal,
So till we meet again, kamma knows where and when,
Pray for me now and then, little pal.
LOVE, PEACE AND JOY
Early in the morning
The sun rises above
Be mindful of Buddha’s love
Buddha taught us
To love and be kind
For love can heal the blind
May the world be loved
Love, peace and joy
How glorious is the Dhamma
O Blessed Lord
That spreads thy words abroad
May all evil
And hatred cease
Till we attain the bliss
May the world be loved
Love, peace and joy
