There is a Buddhist hymn written by Victor Wee which I like:
La la la la...
By ourselves is evil done,
By ourselves we pain endure,
By ourselves we cease from wrong,
By ourselves become we pure.
No one saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may,
By ourselves we walk the path,
Buddha merely shows the way.
La la la...
Now, this hymn preaches self-reliance and the hymn is appropriately titled Self-reliance. Perhaps, readers can share some quotes or excerpts from Buddhist texts that support the lyrics in the hymn...
Wayfarers, singers of Buddhist Hymns from Brickfield, Kuala Lumpur who sang Self Reliance...
