Below is a beautiful poem by D'. Hunt
describing how the life and teaching of the
Buddha can be a constant source of
inspiration and guiding light - even in our
darkest hour of hopelessness, fear and
loneliness.Lord Buddha speaks to me in accents low:
"My child, look up and learn the Truth I
show. Trust not illusion's vision, ever brief and
fleeting; For only Truth can give thee thy
heart 's desire."Lord Buddha speaks to me when sin holds
sway, When passion's fires rise high and
help seems far away"Fear not, for I have conquered passions
fierce and raging;Tread thou the Path I show thee, therein lies
peace."Lord Buddha speaks to me when friends
depart; When loneliness assails my aching
heart."My child, my feet once wandered lonely in the
forest,But in the hour of darkness, I found Truth's
light."Lord Buddha speaks to me. in death's dark
night, when closing eyes, no more can see
earth's light. "My child," he whispers softly,
"brighter light is shining,Hold fast the Truth I gave thee and thou
shalt see."9
