Silent Night

 

As new year is approaching

More and more cocks are crowing.

But on the New Year Eve

All fowls seem to be disappearing.

Where do you think they have been?

Behold - the cooks are busy chopping,

Boiling,stewing, frying and roasting,

Ready to serve as New Year's Greeting.

"After my Parinirvana in the last kalpa different kinds of ghost will be encountered everywhere deceiving peopleand teaching them that they can eat meat and still attain Enlightenment..."
