Milwaukee Choral Artists, Sharon Hansen, Music Director. The text, by Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh, was written as a Peace chant in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In beauty, sitting on a lotus flower, Lord Buddha, quiet and solid. Your humble disciple, calm and pure of Heart, Forms a lotus flower with the hands, and offers this Heartfelt prayer: Homage to all Buddhas in the ten directions.
