Buddha Jayanti Day

Rating: 5.0


BUDDHA JAYANTI DAY

Our unshed tears with sorrow and pain,
Gets engraved on our face with passing
years!
I take solace from Buddha's enlightened
and sublime face,
The Lord who transcends all sorrow and
fears!
On this sacred day of His birth, as my time
gradually draws near,
I seek His blessings to give me strength,
And my mind to transcend those unshed
tears!

A fine piece about a Great Man - one of the greatest that has ever lived. We should all seek his blessings to give us strength to transcend our earthly bondage. Take care
