For my two Younger brothers

I don’t know why I feel like believing this feeling. Maybe I am concerned about my two younger brothers, who are leading different paths, and their mistake of turning back to my path can be a sin.

I hope with inspiration from our parent and great gurus, they will do justice to what they have opted to go for and live with. Whenever we gather back home with Dad and Mom, they wish their commitment would go beyond what people usually mull over.

I dedicate the poem to those who are yet to complete their studies at Trashigang Dratshang and Tango Buddhist University. I hope, due to my mundane mind, I don’t parallel my conduct to theirs.

During tender years of not even in your teens,

‘Twas where you woo’d the gentle mind well,

Wonder and ponder my mind over thy great deed.

I feel a complete aroma in thy life chosen to be a monk forever.

Brother Tsheten Tashi

Going on the heavenly abbot called earth,

Beautified with little chirping birds and delight people

When I go to practice religion for universal well-being,

I feel a complete aroma in my temperament.

In the heavenly abbot of Tango monastery,

With great gurus and loving friends,

When I remember the pleasant face of yearning love,

I feel complete numbness in my heart and soul.

Brother Kezang Rangdel

During my entire eighteen years of survival,

Enjoyed the beauty of dwelling on this wonderful earth,

Yet when I think of my past mischief time alone together

My eyes can’t control shedding an ocean of tears.

With not as much of good merit in my past life,

I can feel the paining result in my current verve.

With deep submission and prostration, I pray,

Pray for the wellbeing of sentient beings in the contemporary world!
