Life Never Dies ( Sung By The Wayfarers)

A buddhist hymn sung by the wayfarers.
Lyrics:-
Life never dies, although we live.
In midst of change and death,
Only the forms shall pass away.
And not the spirit's breath.

The consciousness can never die.
Although it seems to fade.
It doth but pass to other forms.
Which thoughts and acts have made.

"There is no death" all nature cries.
The rose will reappear.
Its petal will more perfect be.
After the winter drear.

The tiny bird that lifeless falls.
A victim to its prey.
Returns again in higher forms.
Upon its upward way.

From life to life more high and free
The myriads forms evolve
O may we learn to know the truth
This mighty riddle solve.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

Victor Wee taught us this hymn back in 77 at Brickfields Temple when I was in UTM, Jalan Gurney. It sure brings back a lot of memories. I have been listening to this and few others that I am familiar with these few days. Your guys did a good job. Special gratitude to Victor Wee. Could I have your permission to play this and few other hymns at our temple here in Southern California?

[ipohteh]

Datuk Victor Wee is a great Dhammaduta worker and he he composed many nice Buddhist songs. Am glad to have the opportunity to share the song with you and shall feel glad too that you are going to sing this and a few other songs in your Buddhist temple .

May you be well and happy,

Thanks so much ipohteh!

Do you also have the clip on "song of pilgrim"?

[ipohteh]

Am glad to share the song with you, and am sorry that I do not have Song Of Pilgrim.

Sadhu for your right view. May you be well and happy.

how i hope that over here in sg,our groups will walk and be more involved in correcting their funeral rituals,instead of the commercial kind. That is totally unBuddhist.

[ipohteh]

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Our Buddhsit Society, namely the PBHP does Buddhist wake service and this song is among the few Buddhist songs that might be sung indeed. May you be well and happy.

[choeda]

singing really brings out lots of emotions and thoughts,may the dhamma shines in all. And i hope that this song will be propagated and use in funeral service.
