Light of Cosmic Peace – To the Sacred Mountain in the Heart poem by Lan Xin

I have heard your legends a thousand times
Though countless people come to pilgrimage at your feet every day
Not everyone can behold the light of the sacred mountain

I have come in the fading twilight
How thoughtful you are
— You still kept a beam of golden-pink light for me.

In the dark night
I gaze at your silhouette in deep blue from my windowsill
Like a hidden giant
Silently guarding the peace of the world

You seem to enlighten the wise of the world
He who knows how to hide his radiance
Will shine brilliantly at the right time.

On the next morning
When I open my eyes from your sweet dream
You transform
Into a giant of golden radiance
The moment you come into my sight
Thousands of rays of light burst forth suddenly.

That is the light of cosmic love
caressing all beings with the incarnation of the sacred mountain
That is the light of world peace
covering heaven and earth with the tranquility of the sacred mountain
That is the light of inner peace
healing millions of hearts with the serenity of the sacred mountain
That is the light of wealth all beings long for
blessing the world with abundance and well-being.

Everyone spends their whole life
searching for the sacred mountain in the heart
Where is the sacred mountain
The sacred mountain lives in every holy heart
Every sacred mountain awakens the light in human hearts
Every kind thought illuminates cosmic peace.

Are you the sacred mountain built by divine stones from the Dongba scriptures？
Are you the mountain that stabilizes heaven and earth from the Dongba epic Genesis？
The Dongba scripture says the sacred mountain is omnipresent
You must be the eternal love and light transformed from the sacred mountain
With love awaken the sleeping souls
With kindness ignite the hope of rising
With light illuminate the devout faith.

May all beings in the world receive this sacred light
Temper the soul through years
enlighten wisdom along the way
With peace as the wish
with great love as the soul
Finally live as your own brilliant radiance!
