"Three Smiling Faces" by Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Patience is an armor
Donned at war with ignorance
Not carried away by greed
Guarding against anger
Winds of delusion swept into defeat
Joy to the one
Whose three poisons subdued
The heart filled with compassion
For the enemy whose kindness
Draped one in virtues
Gems from the body, speech and mind
Adorned the practitioner with ornaments
Like the compassionate Great Eastern Sun
Shining forth
Smiles the Guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Santi Yeo Her Chuen is a student in Singapore.
