Happy Wesak!


As Prince Siddartha he was born,
As the Sakyan Raja he was to be crown,
But as a recluse he wanders faraway from town,
In deep meditation he calmly sat down.

On the Wesak eve he was Enlighten,
At last he is free, Mara's grip has been broken,
Under the great Bodhi he sat with mind unshaken,
He is now the Buddha, The One who is Awaken.

For 45 years he wanders,
His wisdom and Dhamma he share with others,
Till now he is honour as great Teacher,
but to us, he is our Reverend Father,

His wisdom and virtues are beyond measure,
The Buddha loving-kindess touched all creatures,
The Dhamma he proclaimed brings us a better future,
The Brotherhood of Sangha always we treasures,

On Wesak Day, was His Birthday,
On Wesak Day, His enlightenment day,
On Wesak Day, His Maha-parinibbana day,
Wesak day indeed an auspicious day!
