-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Chanting for our friends and fellow members to become happy
and for them to be able to change their karma
is a source of great good fortune in our own lives, too.
Let's lead a life full of deep appreciation and gratitude
(for the wonderful opportunities we have as a result of our practise.)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Peace is the universal wish of humankind. Where is the key to peace, however, to be found? The American peace scholar Dr. Elise Boulding once said to me: 'Peace is not only about taking action in times of danger, it is also about assisting each other in daily life. The family and the local community are key starting points.' Peace, in
other words, is not some distant dream, but a reality that starts where we are right now. Dr. Boulding said she always made a point of getting to know her neighbours, because when people know each other, they are more likely to help and assist each other. This is where peace begins.
"Many might find it bothersome to get to know their neighbours, or the thought of doing so just never even occurs to them. How admirable, therefore, is our behaviour as human beings in that we care about our neighbours and strive to make our community an oasis of friendship and trust.'
