I Have Arrived
04:03
|

|
I have arrived, I am home
In the here and in the now.
I have arrived, I am home
In the here and in the now.
I am solid, I am free
I am solid, I am free
In the ultimate I dwell
In the ultimate I dwell.

Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
I am blooming as a flower
I am fresh as the dew
I am solid as a mountain
I am firm as the earth
I am free
Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
I am water reflecting
What is real, what is true
And I feel there is space
Deep inside of me
I am free, I am free, I am free

Take Your Time
03:15
|
|||
|
Take your time
Breathing in, breathing out
Look deeply
As you say, 'This is me!'
You and your breath
You and the air
As hummingbird and flower
Have always been together
Take gentle steps
Feel the ground, curl your toes
Is there a line
Between you and this path?
You and your step
You and the Earth
As butterfly and blossom
Have never been apart

Here is the Pure Land
03:05
|
|||
|
Here is the Pure Land, the Pure Land is here:
I smile in mindfulness and dwell in the present moment.
Buddha is seen in an autumn leaf,
The Dharma in a floating cloud.
The Sangha body is everywhere.
My true home is right here.
Breathing in, flowers are blooming.
Breathing out, I am aware that
Bamboo is swaying - my mind is clear
And I enjoy every moment.

Peace

Peace to the newborn babe
Peace to the sinner and saved
Peace to the one not yet born
Peace to weary and war-torn
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
Peace to all suffering souls
Peace to the meek and the bold
Peace to this blessed
And to those who have lost their way
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
It's the deepest yearning from our heart
To lay down our arms and proffer a rose
For peace - break down the wall
Raze to the ground my pride
And from our heart, play our part for peace
Peace begins with me.
Peace to the newborn babe
Peace to the sinner and saved
Peace to the one not yet born
Peace to weary and war-torn
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest

Island of the Self
03:21
|
|||
|
Breathing in, I go back
To the island within myself.
There are beautiful trees
Within the island.
There are clear streams
Of water, there are birds,
Sunshine and fresh air...
Breathing out, I feel safe.
I enjoy going back to my island.

No Coming, No Going
03:52
|
|||
|
No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you
And you are in me
Because I am in you
And you are in me

Rivers
03:16
|
|||
|
Rivers flow through me
Sunshine is my morning tea
Body, harmony
Feelings, clouds in the sky
Perceptions, stones on the road
Mental formations
Birds are singing! Singing songs of
Freedom!
Freedom!
Consciousness, deep blue sea
Wash over me

Happiness is here and now
I have dropped my worries
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
No longer in a hurry
Happiness is here and now
I have dropped my worries
Somewhere to go, something to do
But I don't need to hurry

I Am a Cloud
03:33
|
|||
|
I am a cloud, I am the blue sky
I am a bird spreading out its wings
I am a flower, I am the sunshine
I am the earth receiving a seed
And I am free when my heart is open
Yes, I am free when my mind is clear
Oh Dear Brother, oh Dear Sister
Let's walk together mindfully
And I am free when my heart is open
Yes, I am free when my mind is clear
Oh Dear Brother, oh Dear Sister
Let's walk together joyfully

Silence is an Ocean
03:25
|
|||
|
Silence is an ocean
Language is a river
A hundred voices inside saying
'That's enough for now'
When the ocean calls to you
Don't walk to the river
Listen to the ocean
That's enough for now
