May We Be Patient

May WeHave

DeterminationAnd

Perseverance

4

In the forest dense and wildProviding shade for fierce and mild,

5

Beloved by both man and child,The Holy

Bodhi Stands.

6

In the city’s sun-browned heartWhere the highways meet and part,

7

Beneath whose shade the sparrows

dartThe Holy

Bodhi stands.

8

Down the river’s fertile shoreWhere young meet for Dhamma’s lore

9

Enshrined within a pilgrim door,The Holy Bodhi stands.

10

May We Be

Alert,Heedful,

And Mindful

11

May We BeHonest

And Truthful

12

May We Develop

Our Wisdom

And Compassion

13

May We Strive OnDiligently

UntilEnlightenment

14

Years by thousands

have gone bySince that

Indian Prince

did sigh,

15

And where became

The Buddha high,

The Holiest Bodhi

stands!

16

The End May The Blessings of

Good Health,Happiness and Peace Be Upon

All Of You!
