Peacefully Free

Composed by Sr. Trieu Nghiem

I'm so free

because I can be me

look at the clouds at play

passing over everyday

inside the sky so blue

immense, spacious and true

I'll be tall like the sky

wide enough to embrace what's inside

just like the clouds passing by

flying high in the grand open sky

everything around me will be loved, embraced and peacefully free

everything inside me will be loved, embraced and peacefully free

I Like the Roses

Drinking tea I see that the steam is in me
It is water in a river flowing endlessly
The true nature of its being is ecology
We are all one organism and together we breathe.

sing by Brother Phap Khoi

arrived, arrived at home, I am at home
dwelling in the here and dwelling in the now
solid as a mountain, free as a white cloud
the door to no birth and no death is open
free and unshakable

The mind can go in a thousand direction
but on this lovely path I walk in peace
with each step a gentle wind blows
with each step a flower blooms
