Carry Me (Tara Refuge) 

Om, Tare tuttare ture, Soha

Take me away, won’t you carry me 
Let me rest in your arms for a while 
Take me away, won’t you carry me 
Let me gaze in the sweetness of your smile 

Tara, take me home 
(Won’t you carry me) 
Tara, take me home 
(Won’t you carry me) 
Tara, take me home 
(Won’t you carry me) 
Oh, won’t you carry me home

Sweet Surrender

We are opening up in sweet surrender
to the infinite lovelight of the one
We are opening up in sweet surrender 
to the infinite lovelight of the one

we are opening, we are opening
we are opening, we are opening

This Love (Tat Tvam Asi*) 

Om 

When the light calls 
this love will welcome me home 
And when the sun shines 
this love will welcome me home 
And when the rain comes 
this love will welcome me home 
And when the night falls 
this love will welcome me home 

Tat tvam asi* 
Only this love 
Tat tvam asi*  
Only this love

Om 

And with the sunrise 
this love will welcome me home 
And when the fires die 
this love will welcome me home 
And when my heart breaks 
this love will welcome me home 
And in the twilight 
this love will welcome me home 

Tat tvam asi* 
Only this love
Tat tvam asi*  
Only this love

Om 

And when the wind blows 
this love will welcome me home 
And when the Earth cries 
this love will welcome me home 
And when my heart aches 
this love will welcome me home 
And in the clear light 
this love will welcome me home 

Tat tvam asi* 
Only this love
Tat tvam asi*  
Only this love

OM

(*"TAT TVAM ASI" = Skt., "You are that")

Vajra Mantra

om ah hum            (for clear, open awareness TRANSFORMING body, speech and mind)
hum

Home, Find Me  

Home, find me 

Open up your doors 
Let light in, 
Out light pours

Open up your doors  
Let light in,  
Out light pours

A moment ago, a friend presented me with a gift. 
It wasn’t wrapped in fancy papers or ribbons, 
He couldn’t hand it to me because it had no structure or shape, 
But I received it with appreciation and an open heart. 

What it contained were things he felt I needed, 
Like kindness, compassion and love, 
The ability to relate and connect with others 
And gratitude for just being able to be present. 

Stay with me in this moment, 
Focus on the silence and sounds of now, 
Acknowledge and embrace each thought and feeling 
Sense and experience them all. 

For that one moment performed its mission 
And now, as I reflect on that moment, 
I was grateful for his thoughtfulness and caring, 
His empathy for my struggles and pain, 
His love and concern for my comfort. 

Those gifts are now part of my essence. 
And he only stayed for a moment. 

Home, find me  

Open up your doors  
Let light in,  
Out light pours 

Open up your doors   
Let light in,   
Out light pours

Poem by Michael Miceli

Medicine Buddha Mantra

(spoken word:) 
The meaning and translation of the Medicine Buddha Mantra
is that of calling upon bekhandze
whose royal nature is divine
as he is the ultimate guru of spiritual wisdom,
shining with the illumination of one who is fully awakened.
The intention is to do away with suffering and the pain of illness
through spiritual wisdom and the compassion one brings
to all beings everywhere. 

TAYATHA,                                                    (Thus we chant,)
OM, BEKHANDZE, BEKHANDZE,          (Om, Bekhandze, Bekhandze,)
MAHA BEKHANDZE,                                (Great Bekhandze,)
RADZA SAMUNGATE, SOHA                (Royal and into the highest realms,
                                                                      we offer up this wish [for healing and
                                                                      peace through wisdom and compassion
                                                                      for ourselves and all living beings. may this be so.)
 

True Refuge of Love (Metta Chant) 

May I be deeply happy 
May my life be safe 
May my heart be peaceful 
May my body and mind be well 

May you be deeply happy 
May your life be safe 
May your heart be peaceful 
May your body and mind be well 

True refuge of love 
I am at home 
In a boundless heart 

True refuge of love 
you are at home 
In a boundless heart 
True refuge of love 

May we be deeply happy 
May our lives be safe 
May our hearts be peaceful 
May our bodies and minds be well 

May all be deeply happy 
May all lives be safe 
May all hearts be peaceful 
May all bodies and minds be well 

True refuge of love 
We are at home 
In a boundless heart 

True refuge of love 
All are at home 
In a boundless heart 
True refuge of love
