MOTHER. A BUDDHIST POEM

Mother "And can I ever cease to be Affectionate and kind to thee Who wast so very kind to me,- My mother........ Supremely compassionate, she constantly showers forth blessings on her children. Thus her right hand is always in the mudra of bestowing boons. The other hand grants the reward of fearlessness. Calmly and serenely poised, the Mother of all presents a picture of reassurance and inspiring confidence. From the delicate fingers of her two hands issue stems terminating into a full blown lotuses. These all associate the Mother Goddess with organic growth and the vegetative principle in nature."
