Returning Mother Nature To Her Original Look

 (A sketch of a treasure-hunt on the beach.)
By Resident Disciple Chen, Hsihu, Miaoli, Formosa

With feelings of joy and romance,
I come to the beach.
The blue sky, the delightful sea breeze,
Sea birds, ocean spray, footprints,
And hermit crabs in the sand,
All are poets' inspirations
And painters' canvases.







I, a passerby,
Pick up things that do not belong,
Returning Mother Nature
To Her original look.

To Be In Your Presence

 By Fellow Initiate Andrew, Singapore
(Originally In English)

You ask us why
we just want to sit here
and watch You.
You ask us why
we love to hear
even Your idle chatter.
You ask us why
we want nothing else
than to be with You,
You ask us why
we don't want You to leave us alone,

Do You know why?



Master,
it is because
You give us so much purpose
Because You stimulate us to go beyond
Those places we could not even dream
to reach!

Because Your foot steps
are like a map of life for us
Because around You
we have no fear

Do You really know why?

Because You give us the ultimate inspiration
Because You are to us life itself

Do You really know why, Master?

Yes.
You do!

Your Song, My Love

 By Mo-Ye, Taichung, Formosa

Your song has awakened my deepest memories.
Suddenly, I realize
You Are My Only Love!

This journey has gone too far and too long.
I thought no one would ever be able to soothe my feelings.
Your song has uncovered the deepest yearning in my soul.

Yearning life after life,
Is as deep as the ocean.
My love hidden in the stars of the universe.
Only You know full well,
How profound such longing is, day and night.
It's Your sweet love song
That has brought forth my eternal, immortal love.
