Alma Mater of Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU)
The Buddha-nature fills up everywhere to the ends of empty space.
The continual generations of sentient beings pervade the Dharma Realm.
Living beings become Buddhas; Buddhas in turn transform their fellow beings.
The ten thousand dharmas are made from the mind alone!
The ten thousand dharmas are made from the mind alone!
United in our single goal, we revive the Sagely teachings.
Sharing high spirits, courageously standing together in the Way.
We will be open and fair, unselfish, and above all, straight minded.
Washing clean the defiling dust in the pool of the seven jewels,
Until finally, in the pure, clear light of the ten thousand Buddhas’ Wonderful Enlightenment!
The ten thousand dharmas are made from the mind alone!
The ten thousand dharmas are made from the mind alone!
Chinese Original – 「盡虛空」(宣化上人作詞)
盡虛空, 佛性充滿了。
遍法界, 有情蘊育著。
眾生成佛, 佛化同胞。
萬法唯心造! 萬法唯心造!
團結一致, 復興聖教。
齊抖擻, 共努力, 勇猛向道。
要大公, 除自私, 直心最好。
七寶池內, 洗滌塵埃。
清淨光明, 萬佛妙覺。
萬法唯心造! 萬法唯心造!
Song of Three Jewels
(Lyric by Master Taixu, Melody by Master Hongyi, Translated into English by Gankyil Organization)
(Take refuge in the Buddha) Long night in heaven & earth, deep dark in universe, who can bring the light? Three realms – the house on fire, torments and sufferings, who help pass with peace? Great compassion, wisdom, and power. Namo Buddhaya! Shining all existence, shelters all sentient beings, merit beyond the word (can express). Now I know, only this is, genuine place for refuge. (As long) as (my) body persists, devote (my) whole life, practice in joy and hold in faith.
(Take refuge in the Dharma) Held as two truths, gain through three trainings, vast body of dharmadhatu, pure virtue perfected, defilement & flaw pacified, boundless land of nirvana! Causes (and conditions) are emptiness (phenomena) arise only (from) mind. Namo Dharmaya! Reasons never unclear, obscurity never unsolved, brilliant O great clarity. Now I know, only this is, genuine place for refuge. (As long) as (my) body persists, devote (my) whole life, practice in joy and hold in faith.
(Take refuge in the Sangha) Accord to disciplines, marvelously harmonious, exemplify the Holy (Eagle) Peak, practice & get enlightened, help the world with Buddha Dharma, flame (and pass) on the Buddha’s lamp. How numerous (are the) saints from three yanas! Namo Sanghaya! Lead the people, all goes smoothly, preside the City of Dharma. Now I know, only this is, genuine place for refuge. (As long) as (my) body persists, devote (my) whole life, practice in joy and hold in faith.
Chinese Original -「三寶歌」，弘一法師作曲，太虛法師作詞
人天长夜，宇宙黮暗，谁启以光明？ 三界火宅，众苦煎迫，谁济以安宁？ 大悲大智大雄力， 南无佛陀耶！ 昭朗万有，衽席群生，功德莫能名。 今乃知，唯此是，真正皈依处。 尽形寿，献身命，信受勤奉行。
二谛总持，三学增上，恢恢法界身； 净德既圆，染患斯寂，荡荡涅槃城！ 众缘性空唯识现， 南无达摩耶！ 理无不彰，蔽无不解，焕乎其大明。 今乃知，唯此是，真正皈依处。 尽形寿，献身命，信受勤奉行。
依净律仪，成妙和合，灵山遗芳型； 修行证果，弘法利世，焰续佛灯明。 三乘圣贤何济济， 南无僧伽耶！ 统理大众，一切无碍，住持正法城。 今乃知，唯此是，真正皈依处。 尽形寿，献身命，信受勤奉行。
