The Forty-second Gate

Love of Dharma illumination is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we attain Dharma illumination.

Love:

a profoundly tender, passionate affection for something or someone.

Gatha:
May we together with all beings
Nurture a strong affection for the Dharma
That we may attain Dharma illumination.


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.
