The Nineteenth Gate

Reflection on suffering is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with
it] we cease all aspirations.

Suffering :
to undergo or feel pain or distress

May we, together with all beings
Remove all aspirations.
That we may be free to see reality

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.

仁道 生開 - Jindo Shokai "Open to life in a benevolent way"
Just another itinerant monk; go somewhere else to listen to someone who really knows.
