Beneath the shade of the Bodhi tree,
A seeker found what eyes can’t see.
Not crowns of gold, nor endless fame,
But peace beyond both loss and gain.

He taught that anger fades with grace,
And kindness lights the darkest place.
That every step, both small and true,
Can lead the heart to start anew.

Like rivers flowing to the sea,
We learn through change what it means to be.
To let go gently, free the mind,
And leave our restless fears behind.

No sword can conquer like compassion,
No treasure shines like wisdom’s passion.
In silence blooms the brightest light,
Guiding souls through endless night.

So walk with patience, breathe with care,
Find joy within what’s always there.
For Buddha’s path is calm and clear—
A whisper: “Peace begins right here.”
