Sri Lanka -- Bodh Gaya:

https://youtu.be/MKRHWT6xdEU

​And, did Those Feet -- in ancient times

Walk upon Tambapanni's shores?

And, "Thus Have I Heard, the Blessed One"

On Serendip's Sripada was seen?

And, did His Luminous Mind

Light up brightly our treasure island?

And, was Mahiyangana builded here

Among those Nagas and Yakkhas?

Free me from Dukkha of my Bhavachakra

Free me from Samudaya of Tanha

Free me with Nirodha: 'O Nirvana attain!

Free me with our Sangha of Dharma

I will not cease from Samsara,

Nor shall I stray -- from Magga

'Til we have built Bodh Gaya

In Sri Lanka's divine, sacred land

***

​Notes:

1. Thambapanni is a 540s BC ancient name for Sri Lanka:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Tambapanni​

2. King Vijaya walked upon Sri Lanka's shores in 543 BC to meet inhabitants:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Vijaya

3. Tripitaka discourses often begin with, "Thus Have I Heard" and refer to Buddha as, "The Blessed One":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_have_I_heard

4. Serendip is old name for Sri Lanka from which stems the word "serendipity". Predates "Ceylon" which the British called Sri Lanka:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Sri_Lanka

5. Sri Pada or Adam's Peak is where Adam laid his feet upon his fall from the Garden of Eden. Buddhists claim it is where Buddha landed his feet, marking his footprint, during his ancient times visit to Sri Lanka:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Peak

6. Prabhasvara is the artistically portrayed light emanating from Buddha's head, which is said to have spread a lengthy distance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabashvara​

Similar to Christ, this was a phenomena in folklore. Buddha is referred to with capitalized H as a pronoun "His" as Jesus is referred to in the Holy Bible.

7. Sri Lanka is similar to fictional Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island

8. Mahiyangana is a temple that was built during the time of the Buddha. This was built to honor him for his wisdom solving a conflict between the Nagas and Yakkhas who lived over 2,500 years ago, according to folklore, in Sri Lanka:

Nagas are snakes, and Yakkhas are demons, alluding to Bible's Genesis and possibly Serpent Lucifer and Satan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahiyangana_Raja_Maha_Vihara

9. Dukkha is the Hindu Buddhist Jain concept of suffering:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du%E1%B8%A5kha​

10. Luminous Mind or existential realms are what Buddha taught were many realities and realms or dimensions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_mind

The following terms refer to the Four Noble Truths of Suffering:

11. Samudaya is the origin of conceptual suffering:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths#Mnemonic_set

12. Taṇhā is desire or more accurately, attachment which leads to suffering owing to unavoidable loss due to impermanence and the cycle of rebirth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%E1%B9%87h%C4%81

13. Nirodha is path to ending suffering:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirodha

14. Nirvana is the full release of worldly attachment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_paths_to_liberation

15. Sangha are Monks, Nuns (female), Laymen and Laywomen, but in a general colloquial sense, refers to the Monks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangha

16. Dharma are the teachings of the Buddha (and Hindus):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma#:~:text=In%20Hinduism%2C%20dharma%20is%20one,%22right%20way%20of%20living%22.

​In Buddhism, the "Buddha, Dharma and Sangha" are equivalent to Roman Catholic "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit" or the 'Holy Ghost':

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refuge_(Buddhism

17. Samsara is what the cycle of reincarnation or existence or our perception of endless, universal reality is known as in Buddhism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%83s%C4%81ra_(Buddhism

18. The Noble Eightfold Buddhist Path explains in 8-steps how to end or cease conscious existence in Samsara:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path

​A foundational belief in Buddhism is that "life is suffering" due to the impermanent or temporary nature of all things.

19. Magga is a Buddhist key and distinct concept which distinguishes Buddhism from Hinduism and Jainism--it means, "Middle Path" or "Balanced Way", where you stray away from extremes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_paths_to_liberation

20. Poya occurs every full moon, Buddhists observe Uposatha. This is similar to the Jewish Saturday Sabbath, Islamic Friday Prayers or Juma or Christian Lord's Day. Some adherents observe both New Moon vand Full Moon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poya

21. Bodh Gaya is arguably the most sacred site in Buddhism as it is where Buddha attained enlightenment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodh_Gaya

# Her Too -- Love Story:

https://youtu.be/8xg3vE8Ie_E

[Verse 1]

We were both young 👦 👧 when I first saw you

I close my eyes 🙈 , and the flashback 💭 starts

I'm standing there 🙂 🩱

In a Midsummer Night's Dream 🧚 ("Playboy Mansion" 🐰 )

See the stars, see the party, the body paint 🎊✨🌠

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello" 👋

Little did I know 🤔

[Pre-Chorus]

That you were Romeo, you were skipping pebbles 🎳

And Raja said, "Stay away from Naomi" 👨‍👧

And you were crying on the staircase 😥😭

Begging me (Daniela), "Please do anal 👌 🕳 ," and I said:

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me (Marianne) somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run 👙🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

You'll subscribe and I'll be treat of the month 🎥

It's a love story, Tammy, just say "Yes" 😉

[Verse 2]

So I (Shamini) sneaked out to the garden 🌴 to see you 👙

We keep quiet 🙊 , 'cause we're dead ☠ if she knew 🦩

So close your eyes 🙈 🦜🦚😍

Escape this town 🌇🌃 for a little while, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you were Romeo, I was in Scarlet Blue 👙📰

And my (Maria) boyfriend said, "Stay away from that slut" 🤬

But you were everything to me 💏🥰

I was begging him, "Please don't hang up 👿 ," and I said:

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me (Adelina) somewhere we can be alone

I (Bazena) will be waiting, all there's left to do is run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

You'll be Hef 🤴 and I'll be the Playmate 👸👯‍♀️👯👯‍♂️ 🐿

My room is so cosy, baby, just say "Yes" 👙💖💌💋

Romeo, save me (Teresa), they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real 👙💐🌹🌷

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess 😄🥳

It's a love story, Nitya, just say "Yes" 💗💞

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

I (Pooja) got tired of waiting 🌄🌅🌉

Wondering if you were ever coming around 😟

My (Sasha) faith in you was fading 🥀😥

When I met you on the outskirts of town 🏙🌆

[Breakdown]

And I ("Gabi's friend") said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone 👙😖😣

I keep waiting for you but you never cum 🥺 🍾💦

Is this in my hair 🤦‍♀️ ? I don't know if it will stick" 🙉

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

[Chorus]

"Marry me, Pauline, you'll never have to be alone 💗

I love you ❤ , and that's all I really know 💑🙃😀

My PR guy (Jonathan Hirshon) lied* to your dad, go pick out a (Sophia Leone's) white dress (in Blacked) 👰

It's a love story, Casi, just say 'Yes'" 💘

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh 💝

Oh, oh, oh 😘

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you 👶

Aisha -- Colors of Allah:

https://youtu.be/O9MvdMqKvpU

You think I'm an evil "terrorist"

/ تعتقد أنني "إرهابي" شرير

And you've read so much news

/ وقد قرأت الكثير من الأخبار

I guess it must be so

/ أعتقد أنه يجب أن يكون كذلك

But still I cannot see

/ لكن ما زلت لا أستطيع الرؤية

If the "terrorist" is me:

/ إذا كان "الإرهابي" أنا:

How can there be so much that you don't know?

/ كيف يمكن أن يكون هناك الكثير مما لا تعرفه؟

You - don't - know...

/ أنت - لا - تعرف ...

You think you own whatever land you blow up

/ تعتقد أنك تمتلك أي أرض تفجرها

Tehran is just a dead trophy you can claim

/ طهران مجرد كأس ميت يمكنك المطالبة به

But I know every Man and Woman and Child

/ لكني أعرف كل رجل وامرأة وطفل

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

/ له حياة ، له روح ، له اسم

You think the only people who are people

/ تعتقد أن الناس هم الوحيدون

Are the people who look and think like you

/ هم الأشخاص الذين يشبهونك ويفكرون مثلك

But if you walk the footsteps of Hagar

/ ولكن إذا مشيت على خطى هاجر

You'll learn things - you never knew - you never knew

/ ستتعلم أشياء - لم تعرفها أبدًا - لم تعرفها أبدًا

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the crescent moon

/ هل سمعت من قبل عن صرخة الذئب صرخة الهلال

Or asked the hyacinth macaws why they sing?

/ أم يسأل الببغاوات الصفير لماذا يغنون؟

Can you sing with all the voices of Ishmael?

/ ممكن تغني بكل اصوات اسماعيل؟

Can you pray with all the colors of Yahweh?

/ هل تصلي بكل ألوان الرب؟

Can you pray with all the colors of G-d?

/ هل تصلي بكل ألوان الرب؟

Come slide down the sand dunes of the desert

/ تعال وانزلق أسفل الكثبان الرملية للصحراء

Come smell the sunsweet saffron of Iran

/ تعال شم رائحة الزعفران الإيرانية

Come roll like oil drums all around you

/ تعال تدور مثل براميل الزيت من حولك

And for once, never wonder what they're worth

/ ولمرة واحدة ، لا تتساءل أبدًا عن قيمتها

The desert storm martyrs are my brothers

/ شهداء عاصفة الصحراء إخواني

The Sunnis and Shias are my friends

/ السنة والشيعة أصدقائي

And we are all connected to each other

/ وكلنا مرتبطون ببعضنا البعض

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

/ في دائرة ، في حلقة لا تنتهي أبدًا

How high does Burj Khalifa grow?

/ ما هو ارتفاع برج خليفة؟

If you tear it down, then you'll never know

/ إذا هدمتها ، فلن تعرف أبدًا

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the crescent moon

/ ولن تسمع أبدًا صراخ الذئب إلى قمر الهلال

For whether we are white or copper skinned

/ سواء كنا بشرة بيضاء أو نحاسية

We need to sing with all the voices of Ismail

/ نحتاج أن نغني بكل أصوات إسماعيل

We need to pray with all the colors of El Roi

/ نحتاج للصلاة بكل ألوان "الروعي"

You can own the Earth and still

/ يمكنك امتلاك الأرض ولا يزال

All you'll own is earth until

/ كل ما ستمتلكه هو الأرض حتى

You can pray with all the colors of Allah

/ يمكنك أن تصلي بألوان الله

Just a Virgin Mum

Livin' in a scary world

Priests followed a star to find her

Just a carpenter

Born and raised in Bethlehem

Jesus taught us with parables

Usury on temple grounds

Magdalene bought perfume

With a touch he can raise Lazarus

It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers, waitin'

Up and down Jerusalem

Their shadows

Searchin' in the night

Streetlamps, people

Livin' just to find Him

Hidin' somewhere in the night

Widow's son in Nain

Everybody wants a view

Doin' anything to touch Him

Just one more time

Some will win

Some will lose

Some were born to see Him rise

Oh, the book never ends

It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waitin'

Up and down Jerusalem

Their shadows

Searchin' in the night

Streetlamps, people

Livin' just to find Him

Hidin' somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that glory

Streetlamps, people

Don't stop, believin'

Hold on

Streetlamps, people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that glory

Streetlamps, people

Her name is Sheryl

I have a dream about her

She rings my bell

I got Survey Monkey in half an hour

Oh, how she rocks

In McKinsey and Company

But she doesn't know who I am

And she doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just an internet geek, baby

Yeah, I'm just an internet geek, baby

Play Settlers of Catan maybe with me

Ooh

Her boyfriend's a loser

And he sleeps with a loaded gun

And he'd simply kick

My ass if he knew the truth

He's in the Navy SEALS

And he serves in Iraq

But he doesn't know who I am

And he doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just an internet geek, baby

Yeah, I'm just an internet geek, baby

It's date night and I am hopeful

Lo and behold

She's falling asleep on me

This must be fake

My lip starts to shake

How does she know who I am?

And why does she give a damn about me?

Jonathan Hirshon -- Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason:

https://youtu.be/hEcjgJSqSRU

A Long, Long Time Ago

In an ISLAND - Far Away

COLOMBO was - under an ATTACK ¹

And I thought ME and OBAMA ²

Could talk the LTTE into

MAYBE - cutting them - a little slack

But their RESPONSE, it didn't thrill us

They loaded MORTAR BOMBS - and tried to HIT us ³

WE ESCAPED from that blast

Then met M R and Hansa ⁴

We took a CHOPPER from the scene ⁵

And we went to KANDY - to see Teeth ⁶

We all wound up in a PERAHERA ⁷

That's where, we found, this BOY-...

-Oh-

My, My, This Here - LEHAN guy

May be TRUMP someday later, now he's just a small fry

And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye

Sayin', "SOON I'm Gonna Be A MASON":

"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".

Did You Know This THIRD-WORLD THUG

Isn't even COOL enough to snort? ⁸

"But he can SPEAK ENGLISH", they say

Ah, do you see HIM hit'n on "Casi"? ⁹

Though he's TOO PEAKY- and she's an AKKI

Yeah, he's probably gonna 'HIRE' her someday

Well, I Know he built a WIX website ¹⁰

And I've heard how QUICK his mouth can go

And we were BROKE, it's true

So we made a WAGER or two ¹¹

He was a good-for-nothin' lyin' THIEF

And The Minute THILANGA signed off that deal

Well, I knew who would STEAL proceeds ¹²

Oh Yes!, it was - our BOY!

WE Started Singin'

My, my, this here LEHAN guy

May be HEFNER someday later, now he's just a jerk off

And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI* goodbye

Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":

"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".

Now We FINALLY Got To "Pricing Talks"

The Telco Chairman we KNEW would want

To see how GOOD - the boy could be

So We Took him there - and we told the TALE -

How his IMAGINATION was off the scale

And he might - fulfill 'that PROPHECY' ¹⁴

Oh, The PRESIDENT was impressed, of course-

Could he bring balance to the FORCE?

They interviewed the KID

Oh, BRIBERY they forbid! ¹⁵

Because CHANNA sensed in him much fear- ¹⁶

And BHANTE said "Now LISTEN here ¹⁷

Just STICK it in your pointy ear

I still will TEACH this boy"

HE Was Singin'

My, My, This Here LEHAN guy-

May be ZUCKERBERG later, now he's just a startup

And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye

Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":

"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".

We Caught A Ride Back HOME To DC-

'Cause JAGATH Sumathipala wanted to

I FRANKLY would've liked to STAY

We All Fought in that CIVIL WAR -

And it wasn't LONG AT ALL before

Little HOTSHOT - signed his deal and - saved the day!

And In The END, some haters cried-

Some FIRMS closed up and some CEOs fired

WARNAKULASURIYA was croakin' ¹⁸

-The, bitch, was, ritually, stoned- ¹⁹

And The MASON I admire most

Met up with SHAVENDRA - and now he's TOAST ²⁰

Well, I'm still HERE - and he's a GHOST

I GUESS, I'll TRAIN, this BOY...

And I Was SINGIN'

My, My, this here LEHAN guy

May be LEE KUAN YEW later, now he's just a small guy

And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye

Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":

"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".

We Were SINGIN'-

My, my, this here LEHAN guy

May finish UPALI's dream, now he's just DREAMIN'

And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye

Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".

Jacques Huyghebaert -- I'll Make A Mason Out Of You:

https://youtu.be/TVcLIfSC4OE

Let's - get down to business

To win -- the Vote!

Did they send me daughters, when I asked -- for sons?

You're the saddest bunch - I ever met

But you can bet -- before we're through:

Mister, I'll - make a Mason - out of you!

Hear, see ---- but hold your tongue-by its root

Once you learn your lines, you are sure - to win

You're unfit - amongst any - society of men

And devoid of moral worth:

Somehow I'll - make a Mason - out of you!

[Sajith Premadasa]

I'm never gonna to be prez!

[Mahinda Rajapaksa]

Say goodbye to those who knew me!

[Gotabaya Rajapaksa]

Boy, was I a fool in life for screwing up!

[Anura Kumara Dissanayake]

This guy's got 'em scared to death!

[Chandrika Kumaratunga]

Hope he doesn't see right through me.....

[Ranil Wickremesinghe]

Now I really wish that I knew how to sell!

[Jacques & (Grand Lodge Above Chorus)]

(Free-Mason) We must be swift as a coursing river

(Free-Mason) With all the force of a great typhoon

(Free-Mason) With all the Boaz of a raging fire

Mysterious as - right side Pillar - Jachin!!

[Mason]

Time is racing toward us - 'til election day

Heed my every order -- and we might - survive

You're unsuited for - the rage of war

So pack up, go home, you're through

How could I, make a Mason, out of you?

[Jacques & (Grand Lodge Above Chorus)]

(Free-Mason) We must be swift as a coursing river

(Free-Mason) With all the force of a great typhoon

(Free-Mason) With all the Boaz of a raging fire

Mysterious as - right side Pillar - Jachin!!

(Free-Mason) We must be swift as a coursing river

(Free-Mason) With all the force of a great typhoon

(Free-Mason) With all the Boaz of a raging fire

Mysterious as - right side Pillar - Jachin!
