HS - Buddha


Buddha understands things are like phantoms;
Comprehending, he is unhindered.
His mind is pure and free from attachments;
He harmonizes and pacifies all beings.

Some see him first born,
His color like a mountain of gold;
Living in his final body,
He's forever a moon of humanity.

Some see him walking around,
Replete with boundless virtues;
Attention and intellect well employed,
The Great Man walks like a lion.

Some see his violet eyes
Gazing in the ten directions;
Sometimes he shows a smile,
To accommodate beings' wishes.

Some see his lion roar,
His supreme, incomparable body
Manifesting his last incarnation,
Speaking naught but the truth.

Some see him leaving home,
Shedding all bonds,
Practicing the acts of Buddhas,
Always contemplating nirvana.

Some see him sitting on the enlightenment site
Awakening knowledge of all things,
Reaching the other shore of all virtues,
Darkness and affliction ended.

Some see the supreme man
Full of great compassion
Turning the wheel of teaching
Liberating numberless beings.

Some see the lion roar
It's awesome light unique,
Transcending all the worlds
With peerless mystic power.

Some see the mind at peace
Like a lamp gone out forever;
Variously manifesting spiritual mastery,
The ten-powered one can be like this.
