Watering Seeds of Joy

Watering seeds of Joy
My father, my mother
They are in me
And when I look, I see myself in them
The Buddha, the patriarchs
They are in me
And when I look, I see myself in them
I am a continuation
Of my mother and my father
I am a continuation
Of all my blood ancestors
It is my aspiration
To preserve and continue to nourish
Seeds of goodness
Seeds of skills
Seeds of happiness which I have inherited
It’s also my desire to recognize the seeds of fear
And suffering I have inherited
a bit by bit
To transform them,  transform them
I am a continuation
Of the Buddha
And the patriarchs
I am a continuation
Of all my spiritual teachers
It is my deep aspiration
To preserve, develop, and nourish
Seeds of understanding
Seeds of love,
Seeds of freedom
Which they have transmitted to me
In my daily life
I also want to sow
Seeds of love and compassion
in my own consciousness
in the other heart of people
I am determined not to water
Seeds of craving, aversion and violence in me
I am determined not to water
Seeds of craving, aversion and violence in others
With resolve and with compassion
I give rise to this aspiration
May my practice be an offering of the heart


Tưới tẩm hạt giống của niềm vui

Cha tôi, mẹ tôi
Họ đang có trong tôi
Và khi tôi nhìn, tôi thấy bản thân mình trong họ
Đức Phật, các tổ phụ
Họ đang có trong tôi
Và khi tôi nhìn, tôi thấy bản thân mình trong họTôi là một sự tiếp nối
Của mẹ tôi và cha tôi
Tôi là một sự tiếp nối
Của tất cả các tổ tiên huyết thống của tôi
Đó là nguyện vọng của tôi
Bảo tồn và tiếp tục nuôi dưỡng
Hạt giống của điều tốt lành
Hạt giống của các kỹ năng
Hạt giống của hạnh phúc mà tôi được thừa kế
Nó cũng mong muốn của tôi
Để nhận ra những hạt giống của sự sợ hãi
Và đau khổ mà tôi đã được thừa hưởng
Từng chút một
Để chuyển chuyển hóa những hạt giống đó
Tôi là một sự tiếp nối
Của Đức Phật
Và các tổ phụ
Tôi là một sự tiếp nối
Của tất cả những người Thầy tâm linh của tôi
Đó là khát vọng sâu xa của tôi
Để bảo tồn, phát triển và nuôi dưỡng
Hạt giống của sự hiểu biết
Hạt giống của tình yêu,
Hạt giống của tự do
Mà họ đã truyền cho tôi
Trong cuộc sống hàng ngày của tôi
Tôi cũng muốn gieo
Hạt giống tình thương và lòng từ bi
trong ý thức của riêng tôi
và trong trái tim của người khác
Tôi nguyện không tưới tẩm
Hạt giống tham ái, sân hận và bạo lực trong tôi
Tôi nguyện không tưới tẩm
Hạt giống tham ái, sân hận và bạo lực cho những người khác
Với quyết tâm và với lòng từ bi
Tôi mang đến cho khát vọng này
Mong cho sự thực hành của tôi là một sự hiến dâng của trái tim

The Moss

Well, legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees,
Well, legend has it that when the rain comes down, all the worms come up to breathe,
Well, legend has it that when the sunbeams come, all the plants they eat them with their leaves,
Well, legend has it that the world spins round on an axis of twenty-three degrees.

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon,
Or the cow that hopped the planets, while straddling a spoon,
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune,
And swapped her songs with swallows, while riding on a broom.

Well we can all learn things both many and a-few,
From that old hunched woman who lived inside a shoe,
Or the girl that sang all day and by night she ate tear soup,
Or, the man who drank too much and got the brewers' droop.

Come listen up all ye fair maids to how the moral goes,
Nobody knew and nobody knows,
How the pobble was robbed of his twice five toes,
Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose,
Or how the jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed,
And came to shore by the chankly bore, where the bong trees grow,
Where the jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow,
And the quanglewangle plays, in the rain and the snow.

Mama

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you,Yeah I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way
'Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

Song of the wind

I listen to the song of the wind it has no name

I listen to the song of the wind it has no words

I listen to the song of the wind that I can see

The wind is real, the wind is real

  

I listen to the song of the sky it has no name

I listen to the song of the sky it has no words

I listen to the song of the sky that I can see

The sky is real, the sky is real

I listen to the song of the moon it has no name

I listen to the song of the moon it has no words

I listen to the song of the moon that I can see

The moon is real, the moon is real

And I am free...

May the kindness

Song by Jackie Oates & Dave Wood

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part

'Cause true beauty grows with time
There's no need to hide the light
'Cause true glances reciprocate
Now is the moment worth a life times wait

With a gentle healing touch
Untwist this mind that one promised so much
With simplicity once more new
Recognise a place in worth-while things to do

And those we touch that we call friends
Feel the spirit that transcends
They steer through seasons to warden ends
Taming so sweet, so satisfied an end

So live each day as it's your last
How sweet the smile, it comes on fast
Seldom first, more the less
Holding back for those with heavy tasks

So share a moment, hold a hand
Wipe the tears, understand
Life is borrowed we contour
Speed and light and bring your spirit home

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part

Gift of Acceptance

Some believe it's rigt to say Jesus when you pray,
Some believe Mahommed, Allah, or Buddah are the way.
Instead of a God or pantheon of gods up in the sky,
I'll honour your choices and you can honour mine.

Whether you are red, black, yellow, brown or white,
A man with a husband or a woman with a wife,
We can debate till the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Some believe that God's a him and some say he's a her.
Does God live here in our hearts or out in the universe?
Ghandi was a Hindu, Martin Luther King a Christian,
Regardless of religion they knew love was the mission.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

We can debate to the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.
They call you Israeli and they call me an American,
I look at you and I don't see a country, I just see my friend,
I pray we're in each other's lives for a long,
Long time Because I honour your choices and you honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
