Supreme Matriarch


By Fellow Initiate Diep, Los Angeles, U.S.A. (Originally in English)

Master!
From Your grace I am reborn,
Given a new life.
By Your great love,
I've thrown my past to the wind
To follow the path You have chosen.

Like a young fledgeling
Maturing under Your gentle loving care, My Eye opens to see an entirely new world. With Your great love
You beautify the world.
Under Your patient guidance
My life is pure music.

The darkness fled in the bright sunlight; Brighter than the sun,
You are my life.
You grant me hope.
I glimpse new worlds,
Spreading my wings, soaring high,
Far and wide, to the worlds yonder.

You are the star of my darkest night.
You are the heart of my soul.
You are the silver cord that gives me life. My life is Yours
For all eternity.

Master!
I love You so.
Living to serve You
Is my life's goal.
I know sometimes
I will stumble and fall
But I will fight on
To overcome all obstacles
And be worthy
Of Your unconditional love
And forevermore
You are my Supreme Matriarch.

To Mother - Queen of the Universe

By Fellow Initiate Bai, Indiana, USA
(Originally in English & Chinese)

You are the Ocean of Love;
The world is the rippling waves between the tides. Sentient beings fathom the rhythm of life in Your rising spray.

You are the Harp of Love;
The universe is the rainbow
pulsing from Your strings.
Riotous* and ever changing,

        the light nourishes the spirits
        of ten thousand beings.

You are even more perfect than the Sun; Miraculously and ingeniously
turning the Wheel of Dharma Wisdom for eternity. Wherever Your light beams reach,
the lost and longing souls become enlightened.

You are the Holy Water,
purer and brighter than the moonlight. The Treasured Vial inverted; ten directions are blessed by Your ever falling dew.
Billions of lives are filled with Grace, baptized in Your Nectar.

Oh! Mother- Queen of the Universe,
How I long to become a bouquet
of never withering heart flowers, consecrated to You - for eternity...

The Almighty Father's Love

By Fellow Initiate Chang, Cambodia

Holy Father,
It is a beautiful planet,
Really beautiful.

Recalling the past,
My will took Your command.

You once promised
To protect me and stay by my side
Till I go back to heaven in triumph.

You created mountains and rivers.
Eighty thousand creatures
Accompanying me,
For me to play with.

Listen.
They sing praises to You
With heavenly music.

Look.
They glorify You
By showing off their abundant colors.

They use their endless energy
To praise Your miracles.

The Ganges River whispers
And the lilies smile.
Almighty Father,
I know You are always with me.
Every part of the universe is full of Your love.
