Lyrics:
Verse 1: 
Subhuti, the wise, the senior of the fold, 
Walked a path of light, a story untold. 
Saw Buddhas by the trillions, in their celestial array, 
Respect, honor, devotion, every step of the way.

Chorus: 
Moon Signal, shining bright, a guiding star, 
Radiant Wisdom, his realm, near and far. 
Jewel trees and flowers, a land so pure, 
Countless disciples, his teachings endure.

Verse 2: 
Twelve epochs he reigned, a celestial king, 
Twenty epochs his teachings, the Dharma did sing. 
A facsimile, an echo, his wisdom's relay, 
Gods and men, like Ganges' sand, in his radiant sway.

Chorus: 
Moon Signal, shining bright, a guiding star, 
Radiant Wisdom, his realm, near and far. 
Jewel trees and flowers, a land so pure, 
Countless disciples, his teachings endure.

Bridge: 
Subhuti, the seeker, the Buddha-to-be, 
Thirty-two signs of a Seer, for all to see. 
Beneficial, bountiful, leading the way, 
Saving countless beings, night and day.

Chorus: 
Moon Signal, shining bright, a guiding star, 
Radiant Wisdom, his realm, near and far. 
Jewel trees and flowers, a land so pure, 
Countless disciples, his teachings endure.

Outro: 
So listen close, and lend an ear, 
Subhuti's journey, let it ring clear. 
A tale of enlightenment, a cosmic display, 
Moon Signal's wisdom, forever will stay.

Lyrics: 
Verse 1 
Maha-Maudgalyayana, a disciple so true, 
On a path to enlightenment, his spirit anew. 
Twenty-eight thousand Buddhas, he'll pay his respects, 
With honor and reverence, his heart connects.

Reaching to the heavens, a magnificent sight. 
Flowers and incense, offerings so grand, 
To honor the Buddhas, across the land.

In his final existence, his destiny unfolds, 
Tamalapatrakandanagandha, the story unfolds. 
Fragrance of Sandalwood Leaf, a Buddha so wise, 
In the realm of Manobhirama, joy fills the skies.

Stupas of gold, silver, and jewels so bright, 
Reaching to the heavens, a magnificent sight. 
Flowers and incense, offerings so grand, 
To honor the Buddhas, across the land.

Twenty-four epochs, his teachings will last, 
A legacy of wisdom, from the distant past. 
Disciples and Bodhisattvas, a countless array, 
Guided by his light, on their sacred way.

Stupas of gold, silver, and jewels so bright, 
Reaching to the heavens, a magnificent sight. 
Flowers and incense, offerings so grand, 
To honor the Buddhas, across the land.

Oh, Maha-Maudgalyayana, your journey's complete, 
A beacon of hope, for all souls to meet. 
In the realm of enlightenment, your spirit takes flight, 
Forever shining, a guiding light.

The Pulse of Change: Transforming Communities Through Conversation

"Long story short," he'd finally say,
After hours of rambling the day away.
If you're gonna say it, say it from the start,
Don't drag out your story, it's not an art.

One day they told him, with gentle advice,
"Start with the end, and make it concise.
Save us the journey, the twist, and the bend,
Just give us the short of it, right at the end."

"Long story short," he'd finally say,
After hours of rambling the day away.
If you're gonna say it, say it from the start,
Don't drag out your story, it's not an art.

Shorty McGray took the lesson to heart,
He learned to be brief, right from the start.
His tales were now swift, with no winding track,
His friends, they all cheered, "Now that's the knack!"

"Long story short," he'd finally say,
But now he meant it, in a concise way.
If you're gonna say it, say it from the start,
Keep your story brief, that's the real art.

So remember the tale of Shorty McGray,
Who learned to be brief, in a wise new way.
If you’ve got a story, keep it tight and clear,
"Long story short," should mean what we hear.

"Long story short," he'd finally say,
But now he meant it, in a concise way.
If you're gonna say it, say it from the start,
Keep your story brief, that's the real art

Long Story Short

In school one day, I sat and stared,
At shapes and lines, I wasn’t prepared.
Triangles, squares, and angles gleamed,
The Pythagorean Theorem, a puzzle, it seemed.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

With chalk in hand, the teacher drew,
A right-angle triangle, just for me and you.
“A squared plus B squared, equals C squared,” she said,
The light bulb flashed above my head.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

I used it once, to build a treehouse high,
Measured each plank, so it’d touch the sky.
No wobbles, no tilts, sturdy and neat,
Thanks to old Pythagoras, a perfect feat.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

In the kitchen, baking a pie,
I measured my crust, oh my, oh my!
With angles and sides, perfectly aligned,
A delicious success, pie so fine.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

In a puzzle or a game, I find my way,
Right angles and triangles, they save the day.
From mapping stars to building dreams,
The theorem’s wisdom always redeems.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

So when you think, “Why learn this stuff?”
Remember triangles, it’s never too tough.
Math’s not just numbers, it’s life’s guiding light,
With Pythagoras’ theorem, everything’s right.

Thank God I learned the Pythagorean Theorem,
Life’s little tricks, now I can see 'em.
A squared plus B squared, equals C squared, it's true,
Math’s little magic, guiding me through.

Thank God I Learned The Pythagorean Theorem

Old Sultan the dog was long in the tooth,
Spent his days dreaming under the roof.
His master declared, "Tomorrow’s your end,"
But Sultan wasn’t ready to ascend.

So he trotted to the woods with a woeful face,
To see his pal, Wolf, in their secret place.
"I’m to be gone by the break of dawn,
Help me, dear Wolf, before I’m gone!"

The Wolf with a grin, hatched a clever scheme,
"A hero, not zero, you shall seem!
We’ll stage a ruse with the master's tot,
You’ll save the day and secure your spot."

Oh, old dogs and cunning wolves can spin,
A tale so bold, where both might win.
With a bark and howl, they set their stage,
To give old Sultan a hero's wage.

The next morning sun barely rose,
When Wolf snatched the babe, by the toes.
Sultan barked and gave a chase,
Saved the child, kept his place.

"Bravo!" cried the shepherd, patting his head,
"Old Sultan’s a hero!" he happily said.
"A feast for the brave," his wife did cheer,
"And you shall stay with us, year after year."

But the Wolf came back with a sly request,
"Let me dine on a sheep, and I’ll do the rest."
Sultan wagged, "No deals on the sly,
True to my master, till I die!"

The Wolf sneered, thinking it a jest,
Came that night to put it to test.
But Sultan warned of the sly thief’s track,
Earned him a wallop, quite the whack!

Angered, Wolf challenged him to a duel,
Sultan stood, no fool, no tool.
With a three-legged cat by his side so high,
They tricked the foes, made them cry.

Oh, old dogs and cunning wolves can spin,
A tale so bold, where both might win.
With a bark and howl, they set their stage,
To give old Sultan a hero's wage.

So remember when you're old and gray,
Cleverness and heart can save the day.
Old Sultan lived with his head held high,
Under the shepherd's roof, beneath the sky.

Old Sultan
