In the quiet of the heart, the world becomes clear.
When thoughts settle and attachments fade,
the true nature of all things begins to reveal itself.
As the mind calms, like a lake without ripples,
the sky within opens—vast, bright, and boundless.
In this stillness, the Fa gently guides,
showing what cannot be seen by eyes alone.
For in the silence, illusion dissolves,
and the pure, original heart begins to shine again.

Quiet Heart, Bright Sky
When thoughts like storms roll heavy through the mind,
I gently close the gate they left behind.
No force, no fight, just stillness soft and deep,
The heart grows calm, the universe will speak.
Let go of grasp, let go of fear and pride,
In emptiness, the truth no longer hides.
Quiet heart, bright sky,
All illusions pass me by.
In the silence, pure and wide,
The light of truth will rise inside.
Quiet heart, bright sky,
The cosmos opens when I try
To simply be, to simply see,
The boundless way in front of me.
Each breath a wave that smooths the restless sea,
Each moment held in kind serenity.
With patience grown from tolerance so true,
The clouds dissolve, the heavens shine on through.
No wish to change what comes, no need to flee,
Compassion holds whatever life may be.
Beyond the noise, beyond the fleeting pain,
A single point of stillness will remain.
There goodness dwells, there truth is ever near,
There I return, and all becomes so clear.
Quiet heart, bright sky,
No more questions, no more why.
In this silence, I am whole,
Eternal light embraces soul.
Quiet heart… bright sky…
The true seeing has begun.

In all of our songs, we hear the words “FA” or “DAFA.” Some people may wonder what these terms mean. Here is a brief explanation (for a more detailed understanding of this topic, we recommend the book "Zhuan Falun", which can also be read online):
FA or DAFA: A Chinese Buddhist term, this can be translated as “Great Way,” “Great Law”—the principles of the Universe, which are: Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
