THE BUDDHA
By Tsoltim N Shakabpa
No matter what our creed
He bestows upon us
The path to salvation
No matter what our color
He discriminates not
But rewards all who do good
No matter what our race
He sets no boundaries
And welcomes all into His fold
He is colorless in appearance
Countless in compassion
Bottomless in wisdom
He was Siddharta
He who achieves His aim
And became The Buddha
The Awakened and Enlightened One
