The Vast Cloud and Immense Star

Legend says the starting of this universe

Were clusters of star and cloud

Legend has it

A bright star was born in our world

A wondrous cloud pervades our sky

The vast cloud and star

Have you found the star that will

Offer you guide in the journey of life

Have you found the cloud that will

Offer you light in the dark valley of death

The story of the legend

Is not about a great man

For a great man is nothing but a bright moon in the sky

Whose moonlight is there to guide you out of the maze of life

The vast cloud and star

Have you found the star that will

Offer you guide in the journey of life

Have you found the cloud that will

Offer you light in the dark valley of death

The story of the legend

Is not about a great man

For a great man is nothing but a bright moon in the sky

Whose moonlight is there to guide you out of the maze of life

This master

Life after life

Comes to the human world

To give others joy

To give others hope

He wishes that his flesh will satisfy people's hunger

He wishes that his blood will quench people's thirst

Cloud and Water

Half a century of Dharma promotion

The earth rotates around him

The sun and moon reflect the light of his grand vows

This Master

He vows to be a Buddhist monk in all his lifetimes

With this never-retreating vow

He hopes to light up sparks of love and care

In this world of coldness

This Master

Like cloud and water

Half a century of Dharma promotion

The earth rotates around him

The sun and moon reflect the light of his grand vows
