Ode to the Kind Mentor


All beings gaze upon your grace, O kind mentor divine,
Like a lotus pure, you bloom where worldly paths align.
With boundless compassion, you embrace each soul in need,
The Great Awakening’s truth you spread, a guiding creed.

Praise to the kind mentor, eternal light so bright,
You kindle our hearts, dispelling darkest night.
Forever I’ll follow, by your side I’ll stay,
Lead me onward, through the boundless Dharma way.

You heed each being’s wish, with wisdom’s boundless art,
Fulfilling every soul, bringing peace to every heart.
Your teachings, like nectar, revive the weary mind,
Each word a key to truth, awakening we find.

Praise to the kind mentor, eternal light so bright,
You kindle our hearts, dispelling darkest night.
Forever I’ll follow, by your side I’ll stay,
Lead me onward, through the boundless Dharma way.

In lotus radiance, your holy form appears,
Your Dharma voice resounds, dissolving all our fears.
Through lives and worlds, I vow to never part,
Your boundless grace forever dwells within my heart.


Praise to the kind mentor, eternal light so bright,
You kindle our hearts, dispelling darkest night.
Forever I’ll follow, by your side I’ll stay,
Lead me onward, through the boundless Dharma way.

Before you, kind mentor, I pledge my heart sincere,
To walk your path, with joy, your teachings I revere.
