SELF RELIANCE   Traditional / Victor Wee.

By ourselves is evil done
By ourselves we pain endure
By ourselves we cease from wrong
By ourselves become we pure

No one saves us but ourselves
No one can and no one may
We ourselves must walk the path
Buddha merely shows the way

SONG OF PEACE

Praise ye the Dharma of our Lord
Which bids all hatred cease
That sheds upon us holy showers
Of joy and love and peace
Walkin the Noble Eightfold Path
The Path our Teacher found
That leads the weary sons of earth
To peace and hope profound
Within the Sangha we shall rest
And in our Master's Name
Who showed the suffering ones of earth
The secret of their pain


SONG TO THE TRIPLE GEM    Victor Wee / GeeBees

With reverent hearts we bow before
The Master's holy shrine
Peacefully we contemplate
His countenance sublime
His sacred precepts we accept
To guide us day by day
Thus follow we His footsteps
And tread the Eightfold Way

From earthly passions and desires
He sought and found release
And so may we the Truth attain
Nibbana's calm and peace


SONG OF THE PILGRIM

No sentient life in all the worlds,
Will ever cease to be,
Unending all as thou and I,
Through forms change constantly.

The life imprisoned in the earth,
May bloom as lovely flower,
So all evolve a fairer birth,
When law brings forth the flower.
.
Chorus
Remembering always "Buddha thou art",
The path will lighter grow,
The Buddha's seed within our heart,
Will guide those who know.

On through the endless aeons of time,
through forms from stone to man,
All beings to perfection climb,
Such is the fruitless plan.

Perfected man the masters are,
And we shall also climb,
To starry heights in worlds afar,
And know the truth sublime.

From the tape The Sunrise Come
(Wayfarers)


SONG OF THE TRIPLE GEM (Chinese Tune)
(SAN BAO GE)
Rev. Hong Yi/Rev. Tai Xu

Heaven and earth sensed the Dha-mma,
Peace and joy is found
May the Buddha's greatness guide us,
Till Nirvana peace
Maha Buddha karuna,
Namo Buddhaya, Dhamma, Sangha
Rightous deeds found,
Saddhu to Buddha.

Chorus:
Homage to compassion
Followers of the faith
Truth's bright light,
middle path, Samyakaam Buddha

Gate, gater, para gate,
Bodhi sattvaya,
Deeds and me-rits with compasion,
Tathagataya,
Maha Buddha karuna,
Namo Buddhaya, Dhamma, Sangha
Rightous deeds found,
Saddhu to Buddha.

Taking refuge in the Bud-dha,
Tread the eight-fold way,
Worship thy Lord bless our loved ones,
Gautama Buddha,
Maha Buddha karuna,
Namo Buddhaya, Dhamma, Sangha
Rightous deeds found,
Saddhu to Buddha.


STANDING TOGETHER   GeeBees

I have found the joy within my heart
The joy that builds a bridge
Don't you think that it is time
The joy grows and shines

Chorus
When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do almost anything
Believing in our aims

Like a bird that flies in our evening sky
Take away, oh take away
All imaginations and desires
To a place where love will shine

The first step is to realise
That it all begins with you and me
To walk on the Dhamma's way
The truth that's so sublime

Like a bird that flies in our evening sky
Take away, oh take away
All imaginations and desires
To a place where love will shine


STEADFASTNESS   A. R. Zorn / GeeBees

Thead thou the path of rectitude
The precepts five observe
Lest base desire or lure of gain
Thy resolution swerve
Let love thy spirit dominate
And let thine heart be kind
That all in sorrow, pain or need
A friend in thee may find
Pure in thy thought, thy word and deed
So let thy life be spent
And thou shall make thy progress sure
To full Enlightenment


THE SUNRISE COME
Ah! Blessed Lord
Oh! High Deliverer!
I take my refuge in
Thy Name and Order
I take my refuge in
Thy Law.

The dew is on the lot of us,
Rise great sun.
And lift my lead
And mix me
With the wave.
The Sunrise comes!

The dew drop slip
In to the shining sea

From the tape The Sunrise Come
(Wayfarers) Music by Sir Edwin Arnold


SWEET HOUR OF MEDITATION

Sweet hour of meditation,
The quiet hour of peace,
When from life's care and turmoil,
I find a blest release,
In silent contemplation,
New faith and hope I win,
More light and deeper knowledge,
New strength to conquer sin.

Sweet hour of Meditation,
When, silent and alone,
The master's word I ponder,
His Truth to make my own,
With earnest purpose seeking,
I gather more and more,
Of wisdom's holy treasure,
From His exhaustless store.

Sweet hour of Meditation,
When oft there comes to me,
A vision of the Master,
Beneath the Bodhi tree,
And with Him in that vigil,
My spirit seems to share,
A foretaste of Nirvana,
A bliss beyond compare.
