-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Buddhist way is the way of understanding and repaying our debts
of gratitude.
The spirit of showing our appreciation and the spirit of
repayment for all that we owe our parents, teachers and
mentors, for their kindness, guidance and support, is indeed
the hallmark of noble humanity.
