    Ango Gatha 14

    Watching television
    I vow with all beings
    to see the images as both meaningless colored light
    and invaluable messages from across the divide.

      Buying fabric
      I vow with all beings
      to turn all of my raw materials
      into practice.

        Ango Gatha 16

        Stitching slowly
        I vow with all beings
        that I will not stop sewing
        until all have reached the other shore.

          Ango Gatha 17

          Drinking cool liquid
          I vow with all beings
          to notice how water, supremely important,
          tastes like nothing.

            Shinkai, I'm really enjoying this Ango practice. Thanks for sharing. Gassho, Grace.

                Working through construction noise
                I vow with all beings
                to reject the practice of
                selective rejection.

                  Sitting in silence
                  I vow with all beings
                  to put forth my contribution
                  to the void.

                    Receiving gifts
                    I vow with all beings
                    to accept without prejudice
                    and find gratitude in the smallest gesture.

                      Wearing a mala
                      I vow with all beings
                      to be a representative of truth
                      and vanquish all doubts.

                        Tracking progress
                        I vow with all beings
                        that I will widen my path
                        and accept all detours.

                          At the gym
                          I vow with all beings
                          to move with purpose
                          while going nowhere on the treadmill.

                            At the closing of day
                            I vow with all beings
                            to sit with the silence
                            that ends all mind secretions.

                              I vow with all beings
                              to refocus and choose my attitude;

                                Reading sutras
                                I vow with all beings
                                to stop discursive thinking
                                and let the words flow like endless tributaries.
