The Jade Buddha Poem by Natasa To

I read of the Jade Buddha
Where peace and joy abound
And I hear the wonderful songs of the heaven place
Where compassion governs the ground!
I witness of Buddha to know
The truth Buddha promised to show
Submitting my soul to be made whole
Under the Buddha which loves us so
Such love overwhelms my senses
Living in this world saturated with pretenses
How can such pure truth be reconciled within?
And such true love frees our souls of sin?
This is where our faith rises to fight
Our weary souls began to be restored
As the core in our eye receives the Buddha light
How can this be happening to me?
Such miracles we seldom expect to be
Then this thought reinforces my mind
The Buddha said, “Live in kindness, receive the best life in next life'
