Sati Sārāņīya Hermitage

~ a Theravāda bhikkhuni monastery in the Buddha’s 
wisdom tradition of the  elders ~
We wish for happiness, well-being, and protection
from the shadow of ignorance in this world.
So we summon the heart’s courage and spiritual stamina –
shunning what is harmful and unconscionable.
Doesn’t the true source of peace lie within us?
Can we be catalysts for reconciliation?
Even surrounded by hatred, let us refrain from hating.
Let us disarm, repair, forgive, and sow good seeds
of healing and great compassion.
Just as supreme kindness removes the stain of fear,
so we learn to care for each other
and for all beings.
