Saigon He walks in silence Ten thousand hushes And the world takes a breath A lake of calm Ripples outward from the heart An abbott kneels at his feet With a gentle touch he rises And all are made equal "I have arrived, I am home” Prajna Monastery This seated Buddha Overlooks the waterfall Grey robed novices show the way Giggling like birds “I have arrived, I am home” Messages of meditation Amongst straight young pine trees The green tea plantation mountains Surround the Prajna inside Ten thousand hear his words Ten thousand feel his mantra Each moment, each breath Being peace personified Melbourne “I have arrived, I am home” With this sangha I am never alone Touching the earth I see The seeds of my ancestors in each cell of my body War, rape and illness exhaled Soothing my soul with ritual I grieve, I heal, I inter-be. |
