TURN THE LIGHT AROUND

Words and music by former Bhikshuni Heng Yin (Loni Baur)

Turn the light around
Shine it on the mind-ground
Listen to your own sound
That's where joy can be found.

In people's faces I can read
A book of endless misery
Turn and run 'till I can run no more
The Buddha's wisdom is a treasury
The Dharma's light shines bright on me
Head in the clouds
Feet on the other shore.

Turn the light around
Shine it on the mind-ground
Listen to your own sound
That's where joy can be found.

Morning sunrise
Clear in blue skies
Over mountains filled with golden light
Wisdom's real prize.
"Within yourself lies
Cultivate it here
By day and night.

Turn the light around
Shine it on the mind-ground
Listen to your own sound
That's where joy can be found.

Turn the light around
Shine it on the mind-ground
Listen to your own sound
That's where joy can be found.
