The teacher-ship is like the morning light
Turn my bright future on
The teacher-ship is like a great mountain
Let me see many magic words.
The teacher-ship is like a stream
Transforming thousands of kinds of suffering
The teacher-ship is like thousands of oceans
Let me understand deep love.
The teacher-ship is as silent as the sky
Help me comprehend your compassion stream
The teacher-ship is like a late-night light
Let me dispel long-standing ignorance.
The teacher-ship is everlasting, forever
Help me be warm despite the sea of misery
The teacher-ship always gives love
Let me keep up progress amid heavy karma.
The teacher-ship is like a high peak
Support me to realize the love from your heart
The teacher-ship is as tall as Meru[1] Mountain
Let me diligently repay your gratitude.
Respectfully offered to Venerable Thích Nữ Giới Hương and all teachers.
