New Years Day 2014

The Twelfth Gate


Mindfulness of precepts is a gate of Dharma illumination;
for [with it] we fulfill all vows


Vows :
a solemn promise, pledge, or personal commitment, an earnest declaration or resolve

May we, together with all beings
Be mindfull of our vows
That we may keep steadfast on the path.

May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to The Present
