Let us be at peace with our bodies and our minds.
Let us return to ourselves and become wholly ourselves.
Let us be aware of the source of being,
common to us all and to all living things.
Evoking the presence of the Great Compassion,
let us fill our hearts with our own compassion—
towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be
the cause of suffering to each other.
With humility, with awareness of the existence of life,
and of the suffering that are going on around us,
let us practice the establishment of peace in our hearts and on earth.

ReplyDeletePeço desculpa de comentar aqui mas não o consigo fazer no post certo.
Quero felicitá-la pela escolha do look da semana no blog da Monica. Não ligue ao que dizem.Infelizmente nós mulheres conseguimos ser crueis.
Sei que alguns dos comentários não foram muito agradaveis. Eu tambem comentei e espero que nao tenha levado a mal alguma coisa que tenha escrito.
Parabens de novo e tenha orgulho em si. Sempre
