It was a historical day
The happiest day in her life
Happy filled up her body
It was the day
She got “married”
Joyful as she was
Smile was always on her face
Her eyes were shiny
Her voice vibrated cheerfully
Peaceful as she was
Calm was always in her heart
Her walk was steady
Her mind settled with clarity
The “Groom” was not an ordinary “man”
Not a prince of her dream
Neither was he a charming person of her satisfaction
Nor was he a smart guy full of money and fame
He was not a man
Men belong to the relative world
Unreliable and always varying
He was the Buddha
Who belongs to the absolute world
Permanent and unchanging
This day was her pursuit
She took the refuge of Buddha
From this day on
Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are her way
Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
The roads her body follows
The wisdom her speech catches
The places her mind settles
She will be happy forever
