According to Buddha

May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.

i awoke so cold and lonely
in a faraway place
the sun fell cold upon my face
the cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
turned to the wall
pulled the sheets around my head
tried to sleep, and dream my way
back to you again

According to Buddha

If you want to be loved, start loving others who need your love. If you want others to sympathize with you, start showing sympathy to those around you. If you want to be respected, you must learn to be respectful to everyone, both young and old. Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself; then you will find others responding in like manner to you.

i listen to my words but
they fall far below
i let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
i swam upon the devil’s lake
but never, never never never
i’ll never make the same mistake
no, never, never, never

According to Buddha

The rains of life’s blessings cannot gather on mountaintops of pride, but flow easily into valleys of humbleness.

like a sorcerer’s cape
the rain ripped the lips off the mouth of the bay
rendered the eye
sleighted the hand
tricked the land and
blew the air away

then came a quiet no one should know

According to Buddha

Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.

if there is a light
you can’t always see
and there is a world
we can’t always be
if there is a dark
now we shouldn’t doubt
and there is a light
don’t let it go out

According to Buddha

We should pattern our life by a triangular guide: calmness and sweetness are the two sides; the base is happiness. Every day, one should remind him/herself: ” I am a princess of peace, sitting on the throne of poise, directing my kingdom of activity.” Whether one acts quickly or slowly, in solitude or in the busy marts of wo/men, her center should be peaceful, poised.

j’ai une amie, vicky
son vrai nom est suzie
on l’appelle sue

je l’appelle vie
vie

un jour, le sud
le lendemain, le nord
le grand nord
j’adore

According to Buddha

Environment is stronger than will power. If you want to be spiritual, seek good company and don’t mix with those whose bad habits may wrongly influence you. Be always with people who inspire you; surround yourself with people who lift you up.

USS Will Rogers number

According to Buddha

The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.

if these wings could fly
oh, lights go down
in the moment we’re lost and found
and i just wanna be by your side
if these wings could fly

According to Buddha

If your heart is small, one unjust word or act will make you suffer. But if your heart is large, if you have understanding and compassion, that word or deed will not have the power to make you suffer.
