THE GUIDE




THE GUIDE

As a shining light
to dispel the dark,
a cool shower
to rid of heat
and a cosy home
to give shelter.

As clean food
to provide strength,
a good medicine
to relieve pain
and a strong staff
to support the weak.

As a caring mother
who gives love,
a wise teacher
who imparts knowledge
and a close friend
in whom to confide.

As a clear road
to follow its way,
a safe island
to seek shelter
and a destination
to arrive at.
It is like everything
that is helpful.
It has its worth
if only you know.
It has its use
if only you make use of.
It has everything
if only you want.

Dhamma
the source of joy,
peace and light.
It is the guide to
harmony of
Head and Heart.

My Lord




MY LORD

First,
to you my Lord
I clasp my hands
and bow my head
in reverence
with all devotion.

Remembering
your renunciation
of a primrose life
so majestic so abundant
which you forsook
in search of truth.

Then a recluse
with efforts unmatchable
sacrifices unimaginable
a will so indomitable
that none could shake
your firm resolve.

And attainment
of the supreme bliss
seeing the noble truth
treading the noble path
and being enlightened
all on your own.

Gone!
Illusions-passions.
Sufferings ended.
Life-cycles stopped
as you have reached
the shores of Nirvana.

From
first sermon ''Avoid extremes''
to last words ''Be watchful''
you have taught Dhamma
with a boundless love
and a selfless service.

Countless beings
fully rejoice
and are liberated.

And
though you have left
the torch you lit
the path you trod
still remain
as they were
as they are and
as they shall ever be
Most Noble Lord.

''Peace of Mind''
is that what you want?
Then let your mind be
a mind of peace.

No peace will there be
whenever your mind is
burnt by anger
bound with greed
buried in illusion.

They will torment you,
make you restless and
throw you in a den of
darkness.

Where is peace that you want?

Let love conquer anger
contentment crush greed
wisdom dispel illusion.
It's hard but is verily
the only way to peace.

Surely,
from a mind of peace
you get
''Peace of Mind''.

--------------------------------------

ၾကည္လင္ေအးခ်မ္းတဲ့စိတ္
မင္းလိုခ်င္တာ အဲဒီစိတ္လား 
ဒါဆို ေအးခ်မ္းေသာစိတ္ ျဖစ္ေအာင္ 
ကိုယ့္စိတ္ကို ထားပါ 

ေဒါသက ေလာင္ျမိုက္တဲ့အခါ
ေလာဘက ေနွာင္ဖြဲ့တဲ့အခါ
အစြဲမွားတို့ ဖံုးကြယ္ေနခ်ိန္မွာ
ျငိမ္းေအးမႈဆိုတာ ...
ဘယ္လိုမွ စိတ္မွာ မရွိနိုင္ျပီ 

သူတို့က မင္းကို နွိက္စက္မယ္ 
ဂေယာင္ေျခာက္ခ်ား ျဖစ္ေစမယ္ 
တြင္းနက္ၾကီးထဲက်ေအာင္ကို ပစ္ခ်မွာပဲ
ေအးခ်မ္းခ်င္တယ္ ဆိုျပီး ဘယ္မွာလဲ ေအးခ်မ္းရာ

ေဒါသကို ေမတၱားတရားနဲ့ အနိုင္ယူပါ 
ေလာဘကို ေရာင့္ရဲနိုင္ျခင္း နဲ့ နွိမ္နင္းပါ 
အစြဲမွားတို့ကို ဥာဏ္ပညာ နဲ့ လြင့္ျပယ္နိုင္ပါေစ 
ဒါဟာ ခက္ခဲတယ္ 
သို့ေပမယ့္ ေအးခ်မ္းမႈအတြက္ဆို
တစ္ခုတည္းေသာ ဧကန္လမ္းျဖစ္တယ္ 

ဧကန္မုခ်
ေအးခ်မ္းေသာစိတ္ကသာလွ်င္
ၾကည္လင္ေအးခ်မ္းတဲ့စိတ္အေျခကို
မင္း ခံစားရရွိပါမယ္

TRUE WORTH




TRUE WORTH

What you eat
more or less becomes
excretion.

What you keep
sooner or later you leave behind
with your coffin.

What you do
good or bad is a seed
that grows within.

EGO




EGO

Inside us
is a range of volcanoes
where anger often erupts
and hatred-lava flows.

Inside us
are many an octopus.
Dwelling in a sea of greed
come what prey it sucks.

Inside us
is a forest of delusions.
So dense and dark it is
that there shines not a ray of reason.
We are burnt, drowned and darkened.

Why so?
It's ''Ego'' the master of deception
tying us to the yoke of
anger, greed and illusion.

THE GOAL



THE GOAL

'Suffering' exists
and there is a 'Cause' for it.

Suffering can 'Cease'
and there is a 'Way' to achieve.

The Four Noble Truths
The Holy One has preached.

What remains is
to know, to do and to reach.

Poems On The Three Gems

ဒုကၡသည္ရွိေန၏
အေျကာင္းတရားေျကာင့္ျဖစ္ရာသည္

ဒုကၡသည္ျငိမ္းနိုင္၏
စြမ္းေဆာင္ရန္လမ္းရွိျပီးျဖစ္သည္

သစၥာတရားေလးပါး ကို
ဘုရားရွင္ သည္ ေဟာျကားေတာ္မူျပီးျဖစ္သည္။

သိျမင္ရန္၊ လိုက္နာရန္နွင့္
ဆိုက္ေရာက္ရန္သာက်န္ရွိေနပါသည္။
