The Mother’s Song
This morning I woke up
With the sounds of suffering
Speaking their names
In my ear
Spoke of a time
When the Bodhisattvas
Could no longer appear
How can my heart bear the sorrow?
How can my eyes bear to see?
All of my babes lost and fearful
Having no means to be free.
No way to know of liberation
No way to cross samsara’s sea
How can I comfort the sick and dying?
How can I hold them within me?
If they are called, will they hear?
Will they see?

Hi Jetsunma,
It is beyond inspiring how you are using this technology to teach Dharma. You are finding every possible way to reach beings. My heart is touched deeply. Also You are constantly reminding me I must do my part by giving rise to the Bodhichitta Thank you.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much, Jetsunma, for showing the way to develop the Bodhisattva heart of compassion.
Stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. Thank you, Precious Lama for teaching us what Love is.
