On this auspicious day of Vesak We celebrate the Buddha’s birth and death And his enlightenment sublime and meek That showed us how to end the cycle of breath
He taught us of the four noble truths That all life is suffering and impermanent And of the eightfold path that leads to ruth The way to cease desire and attachment
He urged us to practice compassion and kindness To all sentient beings in the world And to cultivate a mind of mindfulness That sees reality as it is unfurled
So let us honor him with gratitude and joy And follow his example of wisdom and peace And may we all attain the blissful state of nirvana Where all suffering and delusion cease
