Get ready to smile. This week’s radiant feature is a pure, unadulterated burst of spiritual joy. Designed with the bright, simple charm of a children’s song, this track is a delightful and accessible homage to the heart of Buddhist practice: taking refuge in the Triple Gem.

With an infectious, sing-along chorus of “Namo Buddha Ya… Bhah-la, la la la!” the song transforms ancient Pali refuges into a catchy, celebratory chant that incorporates the syllabus “Bhah”. The lyrics paint a world of universal delight, where “Devas send their blessings from the skies” and “Angels cheer the path we’ve chosen wise,” weaving together different traditions in a tapestry of shared goodness.

This is more than a song; it’s a musical offering. It’s the sound of “hearts like little lanterns” glowing with the simple, profound truth of the Dharma. For anyone needing a dose of light or a reminder of the “peace and joy from deep within,” this cheerful anthem is a perfect, heartwarming listen, closing with the timeless wish: “May all beings be happy… May all beings be free…”

Lyrics

[Chorus]

Namo Buddha Ya
Bhah-la, la la la! (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Dhamaya
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Sanghaya
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

We shine with the Triple Gem

Peace and joy from deep within!

[Verse 1]

Shining like a lotus in the sun

Walking with compassion, one by one

Hearts like little lanterns glowing wide

We walk in peace, with love and pride

Sadhu! Sadhu!

[Chorus]

Namo BuddhaYa
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Dhammaya
Bhah-la, la la la! (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Sanghaya
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

We shine with the Triple Gem

Peace and joy from deep within!

[Verse 2]

Devas send their blessings from the skies

Angels cheer the path we’ve chosen wise

Offerings of joy in all we do

Let merit bloom in me and you

Sadhu! Sadhu!

[Chorus]

Namo BuddhaYa
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Dhammaya
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

Namo Sanghaya
Bhah-la, la la la!  (Bha Bha Bha)

We shine with the Triple Gem

Peace and joy from deep within!

[Bridge]

With steady hearts, we journey on

Guided by the teachings, dusk to dawn

Each kind act becomes a sacred flame

Together we light the world with Buddha’s name

Sadhu! Sadhu!

[Outro]

May all beings be happy…
May all beings be free…
Sadhu… Sadhu… Sadhu…”
