Sea of Stars

-100%+

That night, I sent off a beam of starlight

That night, I sent off a beam of starlight

Toward you, it shined

Among millions of stars

Toward you, it shined

That beam of light radiates for you

That beam of light dances for you

That beam of light that gleams for you

Toward you, it shined

The searing vow

Like stars engraved on my heart's universe

Shining through endless time

I pour out all my eternal devotion—

Transforming into a sea of stars, a sea of stars

Toward you, it shimmers and sparkles

With all of my luminous clarity

Through countless eons of samsara

This luminous clarity sparkles only toward you

Evermore evermore

That night,
I sent off a beam of starlight

Toward you, it shined

Among millions of stars

Toward you, it shined

That beam of light
radiates for you

That beam of light
dances for you

That beam of light
that gleams for you

Toward you, it shined

The searing vow

Like stars
engraved on my heart's universe

Shining through endless time

I pour out all my eternal devotion—

Transforming into a sea of stars,
a sea of stars

Toward you, it shimmers
and sparkles

With all of my luminous clarity

Through countless eons of samsara

This luminous clarity
sparkles only toward you

Evermore evermore

  • What moved me most was the transformation of a single beam of starlight into a sea of stars. It made me reflect on how gratitude can grow into something far greater than a feeling we quietly hold within.

    Even across distance and time, the respect and appreciation we feel need not fade. Perhaps the deepest way to honour a teacher’s kindness is to let it shape how we live and what we give to others.

  • "I never thought I could pour out all my eternal devotion—transforming into a sea of stars that shimmers and sparkles toward you. I used to receive your unconditional love, though I sometimes changed my mind and took what you gave for granted. But now, I am deeply moved, and I want to give you all my eternal devotion in return."
