My hands held like a lotus bud, I look up at the Buddha
who is sitting so calmly.
How kind is her expression.
The Buddha sits quite straight, and light comes from her eyes which are looking into my heart, seeing all my happiness,
as well as all my suffering.
Her lips are smiling
with great compassion,
full of understanding,
forgiveness, and tolerance.
The Buddha is my teacher
who teaches understanding and love. The Buddha has made possible
my spiritual life.
I promise my whole life,
I will walk in the light
of the Buddha.
I bow to you, Buddha,
who have given me
the wonderful Dharma
which helps me to nourish
my love for family and friends,
my happiness, smile, and trust.
You have taught me to breathe,
to look after my suffering
whenever my feelings are full of
greed, anger, confusion, and jealousy,
so that I can be the master of my body and mind,
overcome my sadness, and
have relief from suffering.
I know that the Sangha is always here, and I shall come back always to this community
which practices love and understanding, to be supported,
to be offered guidance
as I am learning about
the wonderful Dharma.
The sandlewood incense is lit,
the candles also.
I turn my mind towards
the Three Precious Jewels.
How grateful I am
to have this safe place of refuge.
