Aarti of Buddha Pooja (A symbolic poem)

By Victor M Fontane

Flower flows in front of Buddha,

Sings the story of eternity,

A moment of life,

The meaning is known by the mind.

Born like a bud,

Youth comes like a flower,

At the end it dries slowly,

The body also gets to the soil.

Fragrance of Agarbatti Darwale,

Remembering Sheila,

As the wind spreads smell,

The fame is jumping all over the world.

If you don't have shields, you don't have respect

Greater after following Panchshil,

Should shine through the behavior,

The true art of gentleman is sweet.

The lit candle tells,

That bright path of wisdom,

Ignorance, anger, greed, hatred,

For the light that destroys.

The darkness in the mind goes away,

When the lamp of knowledge burns,

Mind brightens up, perspective

Fills with new hope.

Water flows pure blue,

The ocean is united,

Of equality and vastness,

Reflection is seen in this drop.

Just like the river forgets the existence,

Let's remove the ego like that,

As a human being, with humanity,

Let's make our life.

White thread remembers the truth,

Continuing on the path of truth,

Momentbhangur in the creature,

Nandu with kindness.

Aarti of Buddha Pooja also,

Prayer without demand,

Teaches from the symbols,

The eternal practice of Dhamma.
