Please Wake Up! (Hãy Bừng Tỉnh)
Poem written by Supreme Master Ching Hai
(Originally in Vietnamese)

O world, wake up and behold
Rivers and mountains are in tumult
Burnt forests, eroded hills, desiccated streams
Whither do the poor souls go in the end of all dreams?

O great Earth, lessened be your agony
For the tears will stay with the persistent night.
O seas and lakes, cease not your melodies
Allowing hope for a morrow among humanity...

O sentient beings, have respite in the realm beyond
Though you departed without the last utterance.
Let the throbbing of my heart abate
While I await Earthlings' timely repentance.

O deep forests, preserve your true essence
Protect the human race in their moments of erring.
Please accept my heartfelt thousand teardrops
To nurture your majestic trees, leaves and roots.

O heart, relent your sobbing
For my soul to rest in long nights.
Tears dried up and I'm wordless
Weeping in pain for the tormented!

O night, please kindle your source of light
Shine the way for those human souls in darkness
Be serene for my mind to still
And enter emptiness with the miraculous celestial melody.

O day, stir not sudden unrests
For peace to repose in our very hearts
For humankind's struggles to subside
For the true Self to gloriously shine.

O heart of mine, lament no longer
Like an insect writhing in the chilling winter.
Calmly wait for a perfect tomorrow
And the day the world be adorned with Heavenly Halo.

O, I cry, I plead, I beseech
O, infinite Buddhas, the gods, the angels
Deliver souls straying from the True Path.
Wandering in the endless cycle of suffering hell!

O brother, wake up at once
Proudly walk upon great seas and rivers
Look straight at the flaming sun
And vow sacrifice to save all on the Earth!

O sister, wake up this instant!
Arise from places of devastation
Together, let's renew our planet
Sing joyous songs of oneness.

Let's renew our planet
Sing joyous songs of oneness.

Let's renew our planet
Sing joyous songs of oneness.

Let's renew our planet
Sing joyous songs of oneness.

'The Love of Centuries -- Love is Eternal' Celebration

'The Love of Centuries -- Love is Eternal' Celebration is inspired by and based on the book, 'Love of Centuries' by Supreme Master Ching Hai: a collection of 46 exquisite poems, conveying immense love and compassion, harmoniously weaving words and emotions, spirituality and everyday life.

The poems in this book transcend preconceived thinking, just like a pure lotus amidst the dusty world or a radiant lighthouse in the stormy sea.

The style of the poetry is sometimes soft and gentle as a slow flowing stream and sometimes vibrant and forceful, as a thousand horses racing. The poet's simple, conversational words often belie their profound meaning and pure lyrical beauty. The refreshing choice of words and harmonious rhythms are at times romantic and splendid and sometimes imbued with anguish and compassion, but their effect is one of total enchantment. Gentle and profound the poet's expression is earnest in awakening the True Self within.
