Verses by a Student
Like pure jade, Master's spirituality is noble
and his knowledge deep,
Who in this world has not heard of him?
Taking refuge in the Buddha, after studying extensively
in various religions,
He attained realization, understanding the past
and future, under the Bodhi tree.
After attaining realization, understanding the
past and future, under the Bodhi tree,
Heaven has endowed Him with an indestructible
Vajra Body;
Bringing salvation to aid the world, without
asking any return,
How many people can emulate his high character?
His world-illuminating books are as many trees
in a forest;
His psychic divination reveals the past causes
of current events;
Delivering all beings to the other shore,
Like the Barge of Compassion, he provides guidance
in the Dharma Sea.
Like the Barge of Compassion, he provides guidance
in the Dharma Sea;
His transcendence of the mundane and merging
with the holiness command our reverence;
Devotees from East and West come to take refuge
in the Lotus Born One,
The Bon Sect will find it hard to extend its
influence.
