Music: Victor Wee; Lyrics: D.Hunt
Arise, Arise all Buddha’s soldiers true
And take your stand upon the rock of Truth!
The Holy Law by Lord Buddha taught
Shall evermore endure
And all who journey in it light
Shall reach Nirvana’s shore
In Love we stand, by Truth set free
Brothers of Him who found true liberty.
In bygone days on India’s distant shore
Lord Buddha taught to men the Holy law
Today we come like the knights of old
Our loyalty to proclaim
In calm or storm, in life or death
We faithful will remain
So shall we stand, steadfast and firm
Like Brothers one in Buddha’s Holy Law.
And ere we part, our homage we renew
Taking our refuge in our Blessed Lord
Then forth we’ll go with the Dharma’s might
To teach the Holy Way
To scatter far the gloom of night.
And lead men to Truth’s day
Till all the earth with one accord
Shall trust the Dharma of our Blessed Lord. |
