Learning the Song 'Tuan Yuan' ( 团圆 )

We learnt this song, Tuan Yuan (团圆) ~ that means Reunion, at the recent Chinese New Year gathering at Kajang Buddhist House.

Join us in learning this song and incorporate the hand gestures, as shown in the second video, for more fun!!

团圆 (Tuan Yuan)

----------------------------

一个人孤孤单单走到海角天边 yi ge ren gu gu dan dan zou dao hai jiao tian bian
偶尔想从前回味成长的酸和甜 ou er xiang cong qian hui wei cheng zhang de suan he tian
多希望有一天能再轻抚你的脸 duo xi wang you yi tian neng zai qing fu ni de lian
再多的辛苦 cai duo de xin ku
披星戴月 pi xing dai yue
心甘情愿 xin gan qing yuan

Chorus

-----------

全世界 quan shi jie
走一遍 zou yi bian
不枉来人间兜一圈 bu wang lai ren jian dou yi quan
梦可以 meng ge yi
很遥远 hen yao yuan
狂风暴雨都不改变 kuang feng bao yu dou bu gai bian
全世界 quan shi jie
心相连 xin xiang lian
用爱围一个大圈圈 yong ai wei yi ge da quan quan
梦就算 meng jiu suan
再遥远 zai yao yuan
心里有家就会团圆 xin li you jia jui hui tuan yuan

*(Repeat whole song)

**(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Hymn Singing - My Beautiful Friend

Hymn singing session during e-DSG on 14 Jan 2009 in Kajang Buddhist House.

My Beautiful Friend, Music & Lyrics by Daniel Kwok
==========================================

Verse 1:
--------

You, my beautiful friend, you bring me joy
With your warm and generous ways
Kalyana Mitra you pull me back
When the road leads me astray
I'll never forget you were there with me
In times of sorrow
I'll promise to stand by you
Today and tomorrow

Chorus:
--------

You, my trusted friend
I'll walk with you till the end
On the path of Freedom
Now and again
My happy beautiful friend
I'll hold your hand
In us we can depend

Verse 2:
--------

Friend, you have all the qualities in you
To show me the meaning of the Truth
And there will be times we won't agree
There may be doubt, uncertainty
I'm sorry I've let you down and
Left you in the shadows
My friend will you turn around?
I'm here with my rainbows

Repeat Chorus (2x)
-------------------

Kalyana Mitra, please take care of me
We somehow share the same destiny
Kalyana Mitra, I'll take care of you
Beautiful friend, I truly love you.

Hymn Singing - Bodhi Tree

Hymn singing session during e-DSG on 14 Jan 2009 in Kajang Buddhist House.


Bodhi Tree, Music by Daniel Kwok, Lyrics by Khoo Nee Sern
=======================================================

There's a tree with heart shaped leaves
Swaying gently softly to the breeze
From this tree the Buddha found Release
Tis the gentle Bodhi Tree.

And beneath its cozy shade
I will fold my feet and meditate
May I be at ease and unafraid
Underneath the Bodhi Tree

And like the Bodhi Tree I'm strong
Free from danger all day long
And like the Bodhi Tree I'll climb
For Nibbana's precious bliss sublime.

Stately tree with Heart shaped leaves
Swaying gently softly to the breeze
There I'll seek for peace that's guaranteed
Right beneath the Bodhi Tree
This is where I'd really love to be.

2009 New Year Wishes

Happy New Year Everyone!

In this New Year, may all of you do well in your studies or job.
