Praising the Buddha

As wonderful as the lotus flower,
As bright as the northern star,
Let us come back and take refuge in
the Teacher of gods and human beings.
The precious lotus blossoms on the enlightened pedestal,
The halo shines in all directions.
Wisdom is beyond the dharma realms,
Loving-kindness and compassion permeate all the mountains and rivers.
I have just seen the Buddha’s perfect countenance,
I respectfully offer the Buddha my whole sincere heart,
I forward wholeheartedly to praise for the Noble Triple Gem.
Diligence in the Dharma path is well cultivated.

Namo The Original Master Sakyamuni Buddhaya

Touching the earth to deep gratitude to the Buddha:

Wholeheartedly pay homage to Siddhārtha Gautama Bodhisattva,
starting from Tusita heaven,
foreseeing a wholesome omen to holy Maya Queen,
riding a white elephant with six tusks,
entering into his mother’s fetus.

Wholeheartedly pay homage to Siddhārtha Gautama Bodhisattva,

stepping seven steps lifted out by seven lotuses,
confidently stating out that:
“The Enlightened One is topmost.”

Namo the Original Master Sakyamuni Buddhaya

GATHA VESAK CHANTING
We, disciples today,
meet the Vesak day
with the joyful minds
Bowing the head in respect.
Ten directions and three lifetimes,
The Tathagata, Trainer of People
jointly with the holy and noble Sangha.
We along with sentient beings of the dharma realm,
owing to the lack of causes of goodness
All are debauched by
Greed, anger, and ego clinging,
fully forgetting the way back,
love of delusion and ignorance
From within the six paths,
Hundreds of afflictions,
Karma of retribution is unlimited.
Now thanks to the Buddha, Teacher of gods and humans,
with the heart of generosity and compassion
Not bearing to see a being lacking blessings,
The heavy reincarnation of samsara,
The thick and dark night,
With the torch of wisdom shining brightly
Vowing to save all beings.
Using the Dharma as skillful means
In Saha world the Buddha appears
with the seed of birth in the Sakyamuni clan.
Holy Maya Devi dreamt of a wholesome omen
King Suddhodana was blessed to give birth to a filial son.
Thirty-two good signs,
Twenty-nine years old,
Extremely pure loving-kindness and compassion,
The will to renounce the secular world is so strong,
The throne is determined to keep away from
To find the way to become a monk
Six years of deep forest asceticism
Seven weeks of stately meditation practice 
Obtaining the full Enlightenment,
Conquering the devils
The three realms all raise the voices to praise
All things are thanks to the Buddha’s grace for save.
We make the vow:
To abandon the lust that causes suffering
To learn to claim the virtues of lucidity, 
To bow and pray to the Buddha to testify.
May the Buddha bless and support us with compassion:
We along with the dharma realms of sentient beings,
Quickly become the path and fruition of enlightenment.
Namo the Original Master Sakyamuni Buddhaya
(3 times, bell)
Express diligent vows and pay thankful respects to the Triple Gem
We, disciples of Gautama Buddha, are always aware of ourselves by day and by night, constantly practice and recollect the light of the Buddha. Namo Buddhaya. (Bell, one prostration)

May we be well,
May we be happy
May we be peaceful
May we be healthy
May we be free from suffering, greed, anger, delusion, hatred, violence, ignorance, wrong view, etc.
May the Buddha and Bodhisattvas bless and protect all anytime and anywhere.
Bodhi, the wonderful Dharma of the Buddha turns noble and stately.
According to the place where I dwell strongly in Dharma learning, Dharma practice, Dharma understanding, and Dharma joy, I feel forever happy and peaceful. (Bell)
Sharing the Merit
May the merit of cultivation today
Be direct toward all living things, and living beings
We and human beings
Can realize the Buddha’s way together. 
Sadhu, lành thay, well-done, and excellence.
Namo Buddhaya. Namo Dharmaya. Namo Sanghaya.
