《Green Lotus》
作词:無渊界.玄音
By your grace I bear this name, a green lotus with pure heart I claim.
Amid the world’s turbid tide, no stain shall ever on me abide.
From mud I rise, yet not defiled; in clear waves my virtue stays mild.
I vie not for bright hues with flowers bright; alone I stand with graceful light.
My stem stands straight ’gainst wind and rain; my hollow heart holds moon and star’s reign.
No dust shall reach my sacred place; all thoughts stilled, my soul finds grace.
Though born in mire, my bones are pure; in clear water my spirit endure.
My scent drifts far with no earthly trace; my hue reflects heaven’s sacred grace.
Calm I face heat and cold’s constant shift; quiet I watch rise and drift.
From heavenly pool I was once sown; now in mortal world with you I’m known.
I’ll be pure lotus by your throne; chase not fleeting gains nor glory shown.
Frost may bite, yet my pure soul remains; snow may weigh, my crystal heart sustains.
Each leaf and flower holds Dao’s divine breath; half open, half closed, my Zen heart death.
The world loves blooms in gaudy dress; I hold fast to truth, nothing less.
From filth I rise, clean, beyond compare; upright I stand, a soul so rare.
Silent I am, your great grace I receive; graceful I stand, your kindness I believe.
In this life I’ll stand only by your side; forever with you, I’ll never hide.
Thousand turbid waves can’t hide my purity; thousands of mortal miles can’t my way obscure.
Heaven bestows my name, Green Lotus, forever bright; my loyal heart shines on heaven’s height.
