Earth Store Ode

O Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ! Thou are wondrous beyond compare, August is your ethereal appearance, Aurulent is your demeanor, Great are your vows and lyrical is Your Lyre of Dharma Which you play with grace, Adorning the Samsara with Harmonious sounds of Dharma, Thou are mercy embodied, The shade of grace for all beings, The light of your pearl mounts up to the Heavens And your golden khakkhara shatters the gates of Hell! Guiding beings mired in Gordian knot of karma To bow before the Nine Blossom Dais of the Buddha, Thou are the Beacon of Light for those in perdition, The one who pardons and blesses, Honored as the Great Peak of Nine Blossoms, Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Poem released into Public Domain Please see this full Dharma teaching: https://archive.org/details/Earthstoredharma
