A Buddhist alternative to the usual Christmas fare. Music/Lyrics/Singing/Playing/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

Don't Forget the Buddha this Christmas Don't forget to sing a Buddha Song Get the Buddha nothing for Christmas Cuz nothing's what he wanted all along There are Buddhist doctors, firemen And firewomen, too There are those who dress in robes And those who dress like me and you And they all enjoy a holiday When love is at its root They can party with compassion Mixing merriment with truth (Chorus) The Buddha talked of love Before the Christ was ever born And December 25th dawned Just like every other morn Had a belly just like Santa But no reindeer or a sleigh And no jingle bells to guide him As he traveled on his way (Chorus) As he sought the cause of suffering Through every day and night Just like a Christmas miracle He one day saw the light And he finally found Nirvana Long before they were a band And his followers spread peace and love And joy throughout the land x
