After the Rain

Lyrics by a Dafa practitioner in China, taken from “Poems in Prison”
Music by Hong Bo

On the 16th day of each month the moon is full,
The bright moon and stars light up the sky,
Everything is clear in the universe,
All life is smiling after the rain.

Assisting Teacher to spread the Fa and save sentient beings,
We have endured thousands of hardships,
One day after reaching consummation ride the wind and fly away,
Travelling the boundless cosmos.

Chorus:

Dafa disciples in the hundreds of millions,
Their unified will strikes fear in the evil,
Together we send forth righteous thoughts and eliminate the rotten spirits,
One day we will see the Fa rectify the human world.

Chorus:

With truth revealed the sky is clear,
The magnificent Buddha's grace is like a spring breeze,
Reach consummation and return home with Teacher,
The universe will exist forever and so will the Fa.

Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York on the evening of July 20, 2011.

Candlelight

Lyrics by Jing Zhi
Music by Xin Yun
Produced by Dafa practitioners in Sydney

Flickers of candlelight,
A stirring sad melody,
Singing the heroic tragedy of the cultivators.

Flickers of candlelight,
A grand epic,
Recording the mercy and strength of the cultivators.

Light a candle,
to pass on sincerity and kindness,
Light a candle,
to bring light to the universe.

Flickers of candlelight,
A bridge,
Connecting the just and kind in the world.

Flickers of candlelight,
Carrying the hopes of all,
Spreading the wonderfulness of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to the world.
