7. Music/Translation - Homage to the Buddha
"Thus indeed, is that Blessed One: He is the Holy One, fully enlightened, endowed with clear vision and virtuous conduct, sublime, the Knower of the worlds, the incomparable leader of men to be tamed, the teacher of gods and men, enlightened and blessed."
The lyrics in this song mean that the Buddha is the holy one, that he is blessed and that he has clear vision. He knows everything and cannot be compared to man for he is far greater. He is the teacher of all people and he is enlightened and blessed.
