Buddhist Poems


Life Eternal

Have as if you have not.
Be as if you be not.
Seek and work
For whatever purpose
With the heart pure and void,
Without attachment,
Thus arriving at the realization of non-self.

Do, speak and think
In void.
When alive,
Maintain and manage things
According to the Law of Conditioning,
Congenial to the path of nature.

Live in righteousness,
In harmony,
In moderation,
In purity.
Relinquish death.
Implore not for wealth.
Follow the purely virtuous path.
The heart thus brave is indeed undisturbed.
It is happy
And healed of all ills by Dhamma.

It is ready to render service
In true benevolence and wisdom.
O! The heart at peace, so clear so bright;
This is eternity!

~ Sayadaw U Pandita
