Poems
Words from My Heart

By sister-initiate Yu-Chun Chen, Taoyuan, Formosa
(Originally in Chinese)
 

Touched by the sincere longings of the sentient beings,

The Almighty God has descended to this world
in Hiers ship of Compassion,

Thus, the flower of the Golden Age is in full bloom;

Souls have been liberated beyond the realm of the Three Worlds,

Despite a thousand nets of bondage.

Hundred years of human life is as short as a dream;

With fame, profit and lust come chains of karma.

Do not linger any longer in deep trap of Maya.

Cherish the chance to pursue spiritual practice,

… because the time with the Living God on Earth is limited.

Do not idle your life; cut off the bad habits.

Gathering all the faith, concentration and love,

Let us return from the lost path and go home together!
