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 Chord Sequences Dm C Dm C Dm Dm C Dm C Dm F C Bb A Dm C Dm C Dm SHUI YE DUO BU GUO (Chinese - Pin-Yin) (ALL CANNOT AVOID) D'ferers/Tian Yong Qu/Shan Yong Ci shen me yang de zhong zi, kai shen me yang de hua, shen me yang de tu di, zhang shen me yang de mi. shen yang de xin lai, sheu shon me yang de ai, shen me yang de shou hou, sheng shen me yang de qing. shen me jang de tian kong xia huo shen me yang de ren, shen me yang de xing xing yu shen me yang de quang ming. shen me yang de liu shui gei shea me yang de gan shou, shen me yang de da hai shi shen me yang de zi tai. * jin sheng de zhong zhong jie shi qian shi de yin, ming tian de mong yun quan kan jin ri de xing. * yin guo, yin guo, shui ye duo bu guo, ni zao ahan me yang de yin jiu shou shen me yang de guo. * ying guo, yin guo, shui ye duo bu guo, zhi yao yi shi zu na zong shi cuo. shen me yang de zhi zhe, chang shen me yang de ku guo. shen me yang de zheng dao, shi shen me yang de shan guo. shen me yang de xiu xing, de shen me yang zheng guo. shen me de yin yuan, jiu jie shen me de guo. Repeat * 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.
