O! Buddha - You who are,
As gentle as rose petals
As delightful as the moonlight
As happy as the spring
As juicy as a fruit
As hopeful as a bud
As calm as a flowing river
As pure as rain
As bright as the sun
As agile as water
As intense as the color of the new leaves
As magnanimous as the sea
As bold as the wind
As fearless as the fire
As unmovable as the Himalayas
As courageous as the sprout
As determined as the root
As sturdy as the trunk of a tree
As generous as the Earth
As wondrous as the Galaxy
As right as the Dharma
O! Revered one, how can I ever be you?
It is a folly unfathomable – I could never be you!
Buddha says “I am none of these”
“I am only as ordinary as you”
“I am only a mirror”
“For you to reflect what you make of Thee”
