What do people do?

Many Buddhists visit temples on Vesak to listen to monks give talks and recite ancient verses. Devout Buddhists may spend all day in one or more temples. Some temples display a small statue of Buddha as a baby. The statue is placed in a basin filled with water and decorated with flowers. Visitors to the temple pour water over the statue. This symbolizes a pure and new beginning.

Blissful life...

Blissful Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma about his grandfather

In the fertile orchard of the world
spread a blissful life
spread upon every atom of the universe
everlasting--ever new
spread of honey in flowers
spread as immortality among mortals
fill every new zeal in the dead 
mundane feelings
come forward and hug mortality
scatter riches in life's Divine

Eternal light...

ETERNAL LIGHT

POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
The eternal light has slept
the darkness of ego of self has arisen
the arrow of worldliness has pierced through our consciousness
silence is my flute as firm faith of divinity
i want to awake from this mundane faintness
fickleness is my lamp of firefly
we have not to make this life as weight
the waves of time are coming and going
we were born and died numerous times
the love has dried , the sun of compassion has set
we have to live with eternal light
of OM

we have to live with eternal light of OM

My leela...

YOUR LEELA
POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
I want to be part of your leela
i want to dance at your every rhythm
you are sun of this universe
the lotus-era blooms from you
i have no other condition of my life
you met
i am enlightened
i want to become one flower of your garden
i want to become one wave of your great sea
i want to be part of your leela

Loving footsteps...

LOVING FOOTSTEPS
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA

Great persons are wavesthat touch within
the tender hearts of people.
Great persons are the fragrant air
filling this atmosphere
with such serene fragrance.
Great persons leave their footsteps
upon every way they pass;
living not only for themselves
but loving everything too.
They come planting
life as a tree within hopeful joy;
not for themselves but for all.

Arise! Awake! and Think!

NEVER HAS BEEN BEFORE

by Dr Ram Sharma, Meerut, India

Such kind of pomp and show,
Never has been before,
Men so brutal and uncivilized,
Never has been before,
This selfishness and materialistic blindness,
Never has been before,
Men having all the facilities,
And devoid of love and satisfaction,
Never has been before,
Arise! Awake! and Think
