Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

The Heart of “Boundless Merits”

This song began as a reflection on the simple yet profound ways we touch each other’s lives. Inspired by the timeless truth that every act of kindness ripples outward, I wanted to capture that beauty in a melody that feels soulful and grounding.

“Boundless Merits” blends bluesy pop with acoustic warmth, anchored by heartfelt vocals and lyrics that celebrate love as a force greater than ourselves. It’s about letting go, trusting the journey, and believing that what we give to the world will always find its way back.

I hope this song resonates with you and inspires you to embrace the small yet infinite ways we make a difference.

[Lyrics: Verse 1]
A simple smile, a quiet word,
A melody drifting, soft and unheard.
Each small act is like a stream,
Flowin’ wide, chasing a dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
We let it go, we set it free,
Love’s a ripple in eternity.

[Chorus]
Boundless merits, carried on the breeze,
Like the fragrance of flowers, through the tallest trees.
What we give will find its way,
In the ripples of love, it comes back someday.

[Verse 2]
A gentle touch, a guiding hand,
Small gestures shaping the promised land.
Every step plants seeds we’ll never see,
Building bridges through eternity.

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to count, no need to hold,
These gifts of love, more precious than gold.

[Chorus]
Boundless merits, carried on the breeze,
Like the fragrance of flowers, through the tallest trees.
What we give will find its way,
In the ripples of love, it comes back someday.

[Bridge]
Oh, let it fly, let it roam,
Every kindness finds a home.
Through the storms, through the rain,
Every gesture soothes the pain.

[Chorus]
Boundless merits, carried on the breeze,
Like the fragrance of flowers, through the tallest trees.
What we give will find its way,
In the ripples of love, it comes back someday.

[Outro]
Boundless merits, they rise, they fall,
Whispers of kindness, touching us all.
Boundless merits, carried on the breeze,
Forever dancing through eternity.
