“May I be a guard for those who need protection,
A guide for those on the path,
A boat a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood.

May I be a lamp in the darkness,
A resting place for the weary,
A healing medicine for all who are sick,
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles.

And for the boundless multitudes of living beings,
May I bring sustenance and awakening,
Enduring like the earth and sky,
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.”

- Dalai Lama

“It’s interesting that as long as you are under the illusion that what you are loving or what is loving you is ‘out there,’ you will always experience a separateness.

It is only when you begin to understand that you and I are truly in love only if I go to the place in me that is love and you to the place in you that is love, we are ‘together’ in Love.

We start to understand that what love means is that we are sharing a common state together. That state exists in you and it exists in me.”

— Ram Dass

“Resolve to be tender
with the young,

compassionate
with the aged,

sympathetic
with the striving

and

tolerant with the
weak and wrong.

Sometime in your life,
you will have been all of these.”

- Gautama Buddha

“Listen, my friend, this life path is the heart opening.

If I could reach awakening through immersion in water,
I would have asked to be born a fish in this life.

If I could reach awakening eating nothing but berries and wild nuts
then I would have asked to be born a monkey when I came from the womb!

If I could reach awakening by munching nothing but lettuce and dry leaves,
I would have asked to be born a goat.

If the worship of stone statues could bring me to awakening,
I would have adored a granite mountain years ago.

Mirabai says:
The heat of your tears is the path.
Go to that realm inside your tears that death itself trembles to look upon.
There you will know liberation.”

- Mirabai

“Have you ever felt jealous hearing someone
laugh? And then began to think to yourself,

‘Why am I so caught in the world’s snare?
Why don’t I know right now the freedom

in other voices when their spirit like an
arrow takes flight above the hour’s concerns?’

But the heart’s laughter is never there to taunt
another, especially if the other is feeling low.

Real laughter is a waving, a beckoning, a
message, a calling to all that says,

‘Over here, come over here for a moment . . .
where things look so different, and you just might
have a glimpse of what I see!’”

- Hafiz

“When have you been at your
strongest?” asked the boy.

“When I dared to show
my weakness.” said the horse.

Thanksgiving Meal Offering:

“We receive this food in gratitude�
from all beings who helped to bring it to our table,
and vow to respond in turn to those in need�
with wisdom and compassion.”

“Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;

Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;

Opening to my loss,
I gain the embrace of the universe;

Surrendering to emptiness,
I find fullness without end.

Each condition I flee from pursues me,
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.

I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is purest delight;
To honor its form—true devotion.”

- Jennifer Welwood
