The Lotus Seed

The Lotus Seed A Buddhist Hymn For us to reflect on the Buddha Nature in us…the potentiality to attain Enlightenment

May We Be Patient!

May We Be Generous!

May We Be Kind And Caring!

Like the seeds of the Lotus, we are With the sunshine and rain, we’ll grow

Standing virtuously above the muddy water Soon a pure white Lotus we shall be

The pure nature in us, He realized With the Dhamma, He shines The Path

Carefully and patiently, To us He shows The Way

May We Strive On Till Enlightenment

Like the seeds of the Lotus, we are With the sunshine and rain, we’ll grow

Standing virtuously above the muddy water Soon a pure white Lotus we shall be

The great Teacher to us He is With love and kindness He guides us

Gone are the impurities, One by one, perfect Buddha we shall be

May The Light Of Dhamma Dispel Our Ignorance

May We Grow From Darkness To Light

May We Strive On Till Enlightenment

Like the seeds of the Lotus, we are With the sunshine and rain, we’ll grow

Standing virtuously above the muddy water Soon a pure white Lotus we shall be

The great Teacher to us He is, With love and kindness He guides us.

Gone are the impurities, One by one, perfect Buddha we shall be

May our minds be calm and peaceful

May our Wisdom and Compassion Grow

May All Beings Be Peaceful!

The End Like the Lotus blooming out from the muddy waters, may we be free from greed, hatred and delusion and be Enlightened With Metta, Bro. Oh Teik Bin
