is heedless and
lacks clarity,
one can expect
actions of stupidity

to be in solitude to train the mind

prevail in the mind,
you need to have
meditation time.

spread the Dhamma
to young and old,
near and far

be aware,
pay attention.

as we live wisely year to year

will lead to spiritual decline

and Loving-kindness,
we fill our hearts with peace
and happiness

spiritual practice
In true giving joy arises
and there is peace

18. May our mind dwell in
calm and peace
May all our stress
and worry cease

19. When one has great compassion
for every being,
one kills the ‘Self’ that is the root
of all suffering

The pain and suffering
they bring is great

with Right Vision
let’s conquer greed,
hatred and delusion

May all our suffering lessen or cease.
