The Song of Awake
~ Awake Sangha ~
From the pure essence
Seeing people are sinking
In the deep sea of endless suffering
Spinning unceasingly with no way out
From the Infinite Wisdom
as bright as the sun and the moon
like a loving mother
extending her wide-open arms
Nothing hinders her
From penetrating the sleeping minds
To awaken the Bodhi seeds
That have been burried in darkness
The ever-present Bodhi seeds
Covered by ignorance
Falling into deep sleep for many lifetimes
Knowing nothing about the source
Nor remembering where the source?
I have been wandering aimlessly through this lifetime
Fascinated with temporary happiness
Thay has come, and brought Awake love,
Wake me up to return, to liberate from birth and death
Dear Thay! the Awakened Teacher
your Awake light penetrates into my inner mind,
Your Awake light, shines upon my path to return to… Awake source
From the miraculous Awake essence
Give rise to immeasurable love
Helping Bodhi seeds sprout
Into thousands of lush green trees
The ever-present Bodhi seeds
Now blooming everywhere in the garden
Emitting delightful fragrance to the open sky and earth
Emitting delightful fragrance to the whole world
Awake is full of vitality
Light of Wisdom radiates boundlessly
Pure and serene
Emanating thousands of miraculous Awake tools
Light of Wisdom radiates boundlessly
True Compassion always wide opens.
