(to the tune of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey)
Just outside of small town Grants
On land of Shirley and Stan’s
Dharma aspiration in New Mexico
Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche
Knew a retreat land would help us pray
And pacify the land in New Mexico
Incense smoke will fill the room
In the desert, Dharma will bloom
Practice, dedicate benefit
It goes on and on and on and on
Zuni
Retreat land
Gratitude for all the labor
Break ground, building
Day and night
Stupa
Vision
Helping us to find devotion
Making
Tsa tsas
Day and night
Coming from both far and near
Sangha members journey here
Vairotsana gathering in New Mexico
Motel 6
Or we’ll camp
Full moon, our celestial lamp
Gathering place of dakinis
Kora round and round and round and round
Stupa
Finished
Ready for the consecration
Zuni
Mountain
Sacred land
Don’t stop believing
We will gather at the stupa
Zuni
Mountain
Sacred land
Don’t stop believing
We will gather at the stupa
Zuni
Mountain
Sacred land
Inspired by the consecration of the Vairotsana Foundation’s Zuni Mountain Stupa. Written by Tania Israel with Michael Macioce, and offered to Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche on September 6, 2009.
