New Years Day 2018

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
Review and renew our vow of the precepts
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



gassho,
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.
