The Sixteenth Gate
Joy is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we abandon all unpleasant things.
Joy :
the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying
Gatha:
May we, together with all beings
Actualize Joy ( i.e. delight and happiness )
That unpleasant things may be dispelled.
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.
