POETRY IN SAVING ONESELF AND OTHERS
I vow from now until the rest of my life
Do good and avoid evil to help people everywhere
I wish to stay in this place
To propagate the right Dharma with months and days joyfully.
Or
I vow from now until the rest of my life
Do good and avoid evil to help people everywhere
I wish to stay in this place
Being a Dharma practitioner right here is peaceful.

The Buddha Dharma is sublime and wonderful
I vow to cultivate, study, and help people in many directions.
I vow to learn to understand and love
Bringing peace and joy to all the streets and districts.

THE ETHICAL FLOWERS
The ethical flowers penetrate into the mind,
Flowers of loving-kindness and compassion are fully filled with all mountains and rivers.
Each of us is each of poet,
Offering the world sweet-delicious flowers and fruits.
Although tomorrow we are far away from thousands of the route miles,
We are spiritual children of the Buddha forever,
Bringing the light of loving-kindness and compassion to the Dharma path,
Bringing love to spread over all directions.
Though there are so much arduousness and miserableness,
With our stability in Dharma learning and practice, we can overcome all.
The Scent of the Virtue
Meditation Door pervades fragrance,
The garden of the virtuous mind opens miraculously in the early morning and night
Even though we are far away from thousand miles of the bridge spans,
Flowers of the mind still blooms and contributes to the beautiful and fresh parts
Whether the waves and winds are full or less,
But sisterhood and brotherhood of the whole life are respectfully dedicated.
The Garden of the Dharma Mind
Meditative fragrance pervades near and far
The garden of the Dharma Mind blooms in four Seasons.
.
In spite of going thousands of miles of world ways,
The Dharma Mind does not let any part of it fade away.
.
Even though we are far away from thousands of the long way miles,
The love of the Dharma sisters and brothers in us everywhere is close, too.
