On this day of great violence in the news, threats of war, persecuted refugees, many places touched by natural calamities (sadly, there are many such days in Samsara), a passage from the Eko we recite in dedication of the Heart Sutra: .
We dedicate our hopes and aspirations:
To all victims of war and violence and natural events
To the injured and to all families touched by these tragedies
To the healing of hatred in all countries and among all peoples
To the wisdom and compassion of our world leaders
To the peace of the world and harmony of all beings.
Thus, let the harmful effects of words, thoughts and actions be dispelled and Compassion bloom in perpetual spring.
May we all realize and live the Enlightened Way together
