Lovely lights of the Sangha jewel
glow in, grow in, expand my heart.
Light the timeless path appearing
with each mindful breath and step
Steps to destinations dimly seen
but confidently known.

Thay’s Responding Gatha
Using the true Dharma energy of this beginner’s mind
Receive and deliver all lost beings of the six realms.
The bright pearl in the palm steadily shining far and wide
Can make the place of darkness turn toward the illuminating mind
