Silent Tears.....

Collection of Poetic of Silent Tears represents of the early days of Supreme Master Ching Hai as a spiritual mentor.  Poetic verses tinged with a sense of humor urge the spiritual practitioner to walk steadfastly on the path.  Every teardrop of an enlightened Master is a star guiding the soul’s journey away from the dark, up to the eternal light of Truth.   Silent Tears Once upon a time, A true peace lover wandered around the many worlds In search of eternal happiness. She walked over the face of the Earth, the suns, The moons and the clouds. At last she found, That it was all the while hidden in her very heart. Then she sat down, And was about to enjoy the new found Bliss, But suddenly she looked down And saw countless beings were still groveling in darkness, For they were searching for happiness without. Just like her before, erring over millions of ages. Her tears were then rolling down... One drop, two drops...and many more... Each drop became a shining jewel, And soon the firmament was studded with glittering tears, Which are the stars today; They are too shy in the day, And too restless in the night to go to sleep. For all peace seekers, The stars are there to light the Way, And to remind them of the Compassion of a holy Sage.
