Dedication
Where there is no Dharma, let there be the Dharma. Where there is Dharma, let it become stronger. Where there is a misunderstanding of Dharma, let it become clear. By our presence, wherever we go, whatever we do, may we plant Dharma seeds in other people – the seed of correct view and correct thought.
Where there is unhappiness, suffering and tremendous despair, may we be able to relieve it, change it and transform it by our presence.
In this life and in future lives, may we always be protected, blessed and watched by qualified teachers that can guide us, help us and lead us to a higher path.
May we always have the wisdom and the merits to be able to listen to the teachers and to follow their advice, because their advice and their teachings will transform our lives.
