Inner Disarmament

Compassion is the benevolent sister of harmlessness. Caring for ourselves, we care for each other – just as caring for each other, we care for ourselves. But how shall we live harmlessly in a world filled with anger, greed, and ignorance? May virtue prevail to protect us from their toxic currents. Fully aware and guided by wisdom, we shield the pure space of the mind with greater compassion, loving-kindness and peace. This, our inner disarmament, is the Buddha’s recipe for awakening.
