Lotus Born, No Need to Fear Laurie Anderson, Tenzin Choegyal & Jesse Paris Smith

[Verse 1: Laurie Anderson]
Awakened one
With  a body like this
You  will see your home and family
As though you were meeting them in a dream

But although you speak to them
You  will get no reply
You  will see your relatives and family weeping
So you will think "I am dead"
"What  shall I do?"

And you will feel intense pain
Like the pain of a fish rolling in hot sand

But now, suffering is no use
Even  though you were attached to your relatives and family
It is no use
So. Do not be attached
Invoke the lord of great compassion
And there will be no suffering or fear

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Laurie Anderson]
Awakened one
Since your mind is separated from your body
You can not settle down
You feel angry and cold
And consciousness becomes... airy
Speeding, swaying
And impermanent
