The Gatha to be repeated three or four times throughout today is:
May we, together with all buddhas;
Cultivate the four elements of sociability
That we may be a light unto all beings
*The four elements are (per Ch. 45, Vol III, Shobogenzo):
1) dāna, free giving;
2) priya-ākhyāna, kind speech;
3) artha-carya, helpful conduct and
4) samāna-arthatā, identity of purpose, or cooperation
Thank you for your practice.
gassho, Shokai, still learning the way and knowing nothing.
