Sati Sārāņīya Hermitage
We all wish for happiness, well-being, safety and
protection from the shadow of ignorance in this world.
So hasten to develop the heart’s courage,
hone your spiritual stamina and awareness,
relinquishing what is harmful to yourself as to all.
When you speak, act, see, and even think,
stand up to what is fearful and unconscionable.
How can peace arise if not from the depths of our own hearts?
So disarm inner hatred to be a catalyst for reconciliation.
Ever accountable for wrongs done
yet bent on repairing the harm,
sow good seeds of healing,
compassion, generosity and forgiveness.
Just as supreme kindness removes the stain of fear
Care for each other as for all beings on earth.
