MEANING OF THE TIBETAN LYRICS:
KARUNA:
(A) Loving others so dearly as if we have found a precious jewel.
(B) Respecting everyone in all situations.
(C) Watching and purifying one's own heart in every moment of life.
(D) Giving special care to the disadvantaged fellow beings, as if one has discovered a great treasure.
(E) Taking loss and offering victory to those who are mean and abusive to us out of their jealousies.
(F) To regard those who are ungrateful as a supreme teacher
to improve their patience.
(G) In conclusion, to quietly and without boastfulness offer
all the goodness in the universe to others, and take all
the Problems and sufferings of others into one's self.
(H) Finally, to engage into these altruistic practices without ego,
self-interest and expectations.
* this Tibetan peace poem was composed by the great master

Nawang's Flute
Up above the thunderclouds and beyond
the wildflowers, up where the air is thin,
Nawang sat silently in a cave for seven years
occasionally playing his flute at sunset.
Before the notes evaporated and were
transformed into an evening mist,
they were heard by the mountain goats,
which stopped chewing
and turned their heads to
listen because the
god-like melodies filled
them with wonderment and
made them want to dance.
Joan Baez
(A poem I wrote shortly after hearing Nawang
play his flute at a dinner for the Dalai Lamo. 6/6/91)
