A Prayer for Land
Lyrics:
Lost in the tempests
On the open sea, our small boat drift
We seek for land during endless nights and days
We are the foam
Floating on the vast ocean
We are the dust
Drifting in endless space
Our cries are lost
In the howling wind
Our children lie exhausted
Until they cry no more
We yearn for land
But are turned back from every shore
How many boats have perished?
How many families lie beneath the waves?
Lord Jesus, do you hear the prayer of our flesh
Avalokiteshvara, do you hear our voice?
O humans, do you hear our cries from the abyss of death
O solid shore, we long for you!
We pray for mankind to be present today
We pray for land to stretch its arms to us
We pray that hope be given us today
From this very land

This of course was originally written for the exodus from Vietnam, but is still relevant in the Mediterranean today and for the millions who will shortly be forced to flee Palestine

A beautiful story with a happy ending. In my community, here in California, many Vietnamese refugees have found a business niche establishing mini “spas”. Men and women are both trained. My technician came with his mother and 9 siblings, across the ocean, in a boat - not a ship. They all made it.
Beautiful
It it so peaceful to listen to you❤
May we find sure sure foot and gentle lands on the other shore. ❤🙏❤
Bello ❤🙏

Bonjour. De tout Coeur, Merci.
I wonder if the reason the orcas are so unhappy in the Mediterranean is because they are tired of us letting people die in their waters. We dump our waste and take all the fish and, much worse, the Orcas have to endure all that suffering and death. Wake up, Humans, and take care of your tribe. 🌊❤

Too many lives of migrants and refugees lost in the Mediterranean sea
Lol, goodbye 7th precept 😂
The poem written by Thay has anything to do with current situation. Terrible sorry to say but this song it somehow misguides past and ongoing current dramatic situation. There is something called “Global Organised Crime” which I suspect are at the root in the massive human traffic across all oceans. These extremely powerful criminals first they play with human misery and at the same time they play with the sensitivity of foreign lands so that they can allow them to disembark and settle in those foreign lands. How many millions of ilegal migrations have been on the go in the last 40 or 50 years?. Can Countries have sustentable resources as to receive millions of people?. What about imported deseases?. What about warriors soldiers, criminals amongst those ilegal migrations?. If any of you were going to ask for global governments search for the root of the problem, they wouldn’t give you any response. They will be completely silence😢. However, those organised global criminals plus opportunists count on compassionate people like yourselves giving a psychological helping hand for more boats sailing.
