We are the Buddha

(Interlude)

उम्मीदें हैं, ख्वाब हैं, साज़ है, आवाज़ है
कुछ गाएं, गुनगुनाएं, प्यार का ये गीत जहां को सुनाएं

एक पौधा नया उगेगा, एक फूल फिर खिलेगा.
एक बच्चे को हंसाएं, सोए इंसान को जगाएं.

अब देर क्यों करें, चलो काम कुछ करें.
लिए हाथों में हाथ, मिले दिल से दिल
बढ़ते ही जायें.
है सामने मंजिल – ३.

(Stanza)

ढा ले जितने भी सितम, जिंदगी दे कितने भी ग़म
रिश्ता फिर भी जीवन से कभी न तोडेंगे,
उम्मीद का दामन हम अब कभी न छोडेंगे (२)

We are the Buddha, We are the Power – 2 (Chorus)

छुप छुप के रो लेना, मुह ढक के सो लेना
जीने का ये कोई आधार नहीं है.
जलने की न हो तरंग, न कुछ कर पाने की हो उमंग
मानव जीवन को ये स्वीकार नहीं है.
जलने की जो हो तरंग, हो कुछ कर पाने की जो उमंग
हम रुख अपनी किस्मत का फिर से मोडेंगे
उम्मीद का दामन हम अब कभी न छोडेंगे

We are the Buddha, We are the Power – 2

सपने फिर सज़ा लो, जो रूठे तो मना लो
न दो जाने खुशियों को खुद से दूर
थामे आशाएं चल, तोह होंगी राहें अपनी सरल
पाएंगे अपनी मंजिल हम ज़रूर
थामें आशाएं चल, तोह होंगी राहें अपनी सरल
ख़्वाबों के टूटे टुकडों को फिर जोडेंगे
उम्मीद का दामन हम अब कभी न छोडेंगे

We are the Buddha, We are the Power – 2

So lets unite, Sun is about to rise! – 2

Spread the light of compassion,

Spread the light through all mankind – 2

From one to one, From me to you,

From you to her, From her to him.

From him to her, from one to one

From one to all, From one to all!

We are the Buddha, We are the Power – 2

Mentor and I

We are walking the path
My mentor and I
On the wings of our mission
Together we fly
Far to the east and far to the west
Not stopping nor knowing a moment of rest.

We are walking the path
My mentor and I
Turning sorrow to happiness
Tears to smiles
Playing our parts yet one in our hearts
We turn a new leaf and make everyday a new start.

Never retreating, no worries, no fear
We’re moving ahead with the strength of our prayer
At this moment
Striving for the sake of tomorrow
What a wonderful feeling this is

We are walking the path
My mentor and i
Saving all of humanity
Is our inner cry
No one may watch over, no one may see
But we strive and we toil to change history

Who caused my spirit, to soar in the sky
To dance and to sing and turn darkness to light
It is me and
The power that lies within my life
What a wonderful feeling this is!

We are walking the path
My mentor and i
On the wings of our mission
Together we fly
Far to the east and far to the west
Not stopping nor knowing a moment of rest.

We are walking the path
My mentor and i
Turning sorrow to happiness
Tears to smiles
Playing our parts yet one in our hearts
We turn a new leaf and make everyday a new start.

On and on in our journey of peace
We’ll touch every heart, every life we will reach
This is our vow
There is no stopping for us now
What a wonderful feeling this is! (3)

We are walking the path

My mentor and I

Eagle peak song (Was I there?)

Nam myoho renge kyo [3]

Was I there when our mentor gave the call

To take the law to all

The mystic law to all

Did I see Mount Fuji standing tall

And burn with the resolve, to never ever fall

Did I feel the warm love on the cold mountain top

Burning bright in the heart of one and all

Was I there to spell a mission in the dew drops on the grass

Towards the dream of every land big or small

Yes I was, yes I was

Was I there at the great Eagle peak

To hear the Buddha speak

The truth that we seek

Did I rise on the fresh wings of hope

With every word he spoke

To clear every stone

Was I near the Daishonin when the law was revealed

Did my voice join his to sing along

Was I there to protect him when the devils did rise

Was I with him in the battle or a storm

Yes I was, yes I was!

Now I am here in this age of despair

No effort I'll spare

To comfort and care

Its my mission oh Sensei I swear

This I declare, yes I'll be there

To wipe every tear, to vanish all fear

To help everyone persevere

I will warm every heart

With the light of the law

I will make a Buddhaland right here

Yes my Buddhaland is right here!

Yes I'm here! Yes I'm here! Now I'm here

Oh Sensei I'm here!

Nam myoho renge kyo, Nam myoho renge kyo  :)

SGI SONG

Shoulder to shoulder marching along

Holding the banner high,

With faith in our hearts and joy in our song,

Peace is the battle cry,

We’re building a highway of peace,

Where every one can be free,

We will fight….for the right….

Of every one to be free.

Marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century,

We’re marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century.

Arm linked in arm, together we go,

Walking the great middle way,

Fighting the poisons of fear greed and hate,

Winning the fight each day.

A treasure thats too close to see

Freedom for you and for me

We will fight….for the right….

Of every one to be free.

Marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century,

We’re marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century.

La la la la…la la la la

La la la la la la

[MUSIC]

Heart close to heart

United and free

Facing our destiny.

The road that we travel is long

But with hope in our hearts, We’ll go on….

Marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century,

We’re marching forward to victory

In the 21^st Century.

Marching on to change history

In the 21^st Century

Dare to believe

Dare to believe there’s a song in your heart

Dare to believe in your dreams

Nothing can stop you from playing your part

As long as you dare to believe

Too many people hold themselves back

When they should be reaching out

Too many people on the wrong track

Led astray by a seed of doubt

We don’t have to live that way

Sun is up on a brand new day!!!

So dare to believe ……..

Too many people say its allright

Never see a need to change

Too many people hide in their lives

Underneath a cloud of pain

We don’t have to bow our heads

Lift ‘em up sing with joy instead

And dare to believe……..

And there’s no time

Like the present time

I’m gonna go

Non stop, Right now

I’ve found something that I know is mine!

So dare to believe……..

We will win

When I looked around there was grief and despair

Selfishness abounded, no one seemed to care

How could I go on, could I ever learn to cope

Through the looming shadows, I sought a ray of hope

In my darkest moment, the law came to me

It opened up my eyes to life’s true dignity

What a revelation, the Buddhahood inside

Cleansed of all illusion, there was nothing to hide

You brought the law into my life

You opened my eyes to see

Thank you thank you dear Sensei

For the precious gift you gave to me

Brothers and sisters of the Mystic Law

We advance in unity

With you as our mentor and our lives

We’ll create sweet harmony

You showed us the way, to make dreams come true

Our future filled with happiness, we owe it all to you

You gave a perfect teaching, without a flaw

Guided by compassion, we worked to spread the law

Though we’re far apart, we are united as one

Like rays of warmth and light, emanating from the sun

Cherry, plum, peach and damson

All fruits of different trees

Together we spread our sweetness for all humanity

You brought the law into my life

You opened my eyes to see

Thank you thank you dear Sensei

For the precious gift you gave to me

Brothers and sisters of the Mystic Law

We advance in unity

With you as our mentor and our lives

We’ll create sweet harmony

(Growth in) unity with Sensei

When I think back of yesterday

Do I feel a sense of happiness

Do I feel I’ve thrown my time away

Now I’m thinking of today

Do I feel I’m stuck in the same old place

Or have I learnt from yesterday?

I want to break the shackles of my karma

I want to work for peace everyday

I will make sure that everything leads to my

Continuous growth in unity with Sensei

When I look at the world around me

Do I see a wave of loneliness

Love and warmth seem so far away

Now I’m looking at the world inside me

I see a ray of hope that’s burning bright

And my Buddhahood is here to stay

I want to break the shackles of my karma

I want to work for peace everyday

I will make sure that everything leads to my

Continuous growth in unity with Sensei

I will make sure that everything leads to my

Continuous growth in unity with Sensei

I will make sure that everything leads to my

Continuous growth in unity with Sensei

Hand in Hand (BSG)

Waves of trust everywhere we spread

Friendship and joy on the path we tread

Where hate and war will finally cease

We’ll build a century of lasting peace

Like a river flowing over rocks

Forward forever we know no stop

The morning light holds no surprise

We carved the morning all through the night

Hand in hand, hand in hand

Sisters and brothers of every land

Hand in hand, hand in hand

With you dear Sensei we proudly stand

In this glorious Buddhaland.

Hand in hand, hand in hand

Sisters and brothers of every land

Hand in hand, hand in hand

With you dear Sensei we proudly stand

In this Buddhaland.

Mankind’s suffering we’ll overcome

With the courage to carry on

Challenge all that comes our way

Like attacking lions we face each day

Hand in hand, hand in hand

Sisters and brothers of every land

Hand in hand, hand in hand

With you dear Sensei we proudly stand

In this glorious Buddhaland.

Hand in hand, hand in hand

The time has come to ride the wind

With you dear Sensei we take a stand

In this glorious Buddhaland

Hand in hand, hand in hand

Sisters and brothers of every land

Hand in hand, hand in hand

With you dear Sensei we proudly stand

In this glorious Buddhaland.

Hand in hand, hand in hand

The time has come to ride the wind

With you dear Sensei we take a stand

We are walking towards human revolution

We’ve found the great law that assures us all salvation

So many hardships and troubles will assail us

With the courage of a lion

We know we’ll be victorious

[Chorus TWICE]

Happiness, Happiness

Victory, Victory

Through correct faith, practice and study

Faith, practice and study

Sometimes our problems can seem to bring us down

Gone our smiling faces, we’re left with tears and frowns

But our practice shows us to be masters of our mind

And the wisdom that we gain changes rain into sunshine

[Chorus TWICE]

Happiness, Happiness

Victory, Victory

Through correct faith, practice and study

Faith, practice and study

Some people have the notion whatever will be will be

With this passive attitude no progress they can see

But our faith is different it spurs us onto passion

Day by day our life is rich with the jewel of compassion

[Chorus TWICE]

Happiness, Happiness

Victory, Victory

Through correct faith, practice and study

Faith, practice and study
