[Maṅgala Saying]A Beam of Sunlight
A beam of sunlight
Shone on the bed
Bringing warmth
and driving darkness away
I leaned against the wall
Bathing in the freedom of being alone
Though my meals repeat each day
The taste of peace in my heart remains
Is happiness so difficult to come by?
It is simply letting go, not for the sake of gaining
Let inactions charge our minds once again
The sails are ready, there’s bound to be wind someday
The familiar greetings of youths
sailed through my window,
Ah! it’s the true feelings of brothers all over the world
that makes strangers feel like old friends at first sight
In the changeable years,
dear friends,
Please allow me to gift you
The light of Dhamma
