Search for Truth
	CHAPTER 13
	(Back To Main Page)
	BE YOUR OWN ISLAND KUAN YIN COMPASSIONATE LOVE
	Broadcast the Truth of Life
	Exclude not the Way inside
	Yacht is sent to fetch
	Onto the right one, you go
	Using the eye to see
	Resulting in the brilliance within
	Onto the island that shelters
	Wandering no more in the dusty land
	Never search, yet millions are shown
	Island that shelters must be your own
	Seeking afar, what is better than near
	Landing in the perfect wharf that shelters
	Among the best is your own island
	Neglect not the one within for illusory islands
	Death is not the end of everything
	Keeping the eyesight for far-away land
	Using the wrong direction, one does not see
	Arise now and look within yourself
	Netting in results, your own island is seen
	Yonder, Pureland awaits your return
	Into the right track, begin your search
	Nourish the real self with plain truth
	COMPASSIONATE love is meant for all
	Living in togetherness, one remains in harmony
	Onto the land of the ever-rising Sun
	Victory belongs to all those who search
	Erase personal self but dig out the inner one.
	All those who are seeking refuge are seeking an
	island that gives refuge. Sailing in the vast ocean
	with heavy rain and violent wind, people will try to
	search for an island for shelter. By moving in all
	directions, one may find an island. But how long can
	one remain protected by it? The distance of the search
	may be far or near. Yet, in the stormy weather no one
	knows his own destiny. Just as many people turn to
	the Heavenly Beings as the island but how long can
	they be protected from evils or sufferings? No one
	can be protected forever by another beings. Therefore,
	why not be your own island that saves yourself?
	The island must consist of the Truth, the Way and
	the virtues. With such an island, you are well
	protected from the outside invaders who seek for
	your falling back.
	Worldly beings, use your wisdom and learn the
	Great Love! When all are about to be drown in this
	'sea', what would you gain by fighting among one
	another? Think carefully. Is it not a foolish thing
	to do so? Instead of fighting to drown one another,
	all of you should pull your senses together and seek
	a way out. Many have already found the Way
	and marked on the landmark but none you see.
	Instead, all are drowned in this misery sea.
	One should not indulge in doing things that hurt
	one another. When will man realize the Truth? Time waits
	for no man. Summer, autumn, winter and spring, each season
	different flowers bloom. With the changing of seasons,
	the flowers fade. Upon the return of the next season,
	although same flowers are seen but the plants are not
	the same.
	Learn not to waste time on things that do not give
	rise to purity but work in accordance with the teachings.
	The teachers may be different and the teaching may be in
	different ways but the Truth is one and nothing will change
	it. Just as beautiful grass is green, if it consists
	of other colors, then different will be its name. Change
	not what is unchangeable, just try to find out the truth
	in it. Begin now and find your own boat that will take
	you back.
