Our True Heritage
Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh Vocal: Bodhicitta- Sean Liew, Karamen Chia A Bodhicitta production with the blessing of Plum Village
Lyric:
The cosmos is filled with precious gems. I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning. Each moment you are alive is a gem, Shinning through and containing earth and sky, Water and clouds.
It needs you to breathe gently For the miracles to be displayed. Suddenly you hear the birds singing, the pines chanting, see the flowers blooming, the blue sky, the white clouds, the smile and the marvelous look of your beloved.
You, the richest person on Earth, who have been going around begging for a living, stop being the destitute child. Come back and claim your heritage. We should enjoy our happiness and offer it to everyone. Cherish this very moment. Let go of the stream of distress and embrace life fully in your arms. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
