-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's avoid erecting barriers
in our hearts
(like being shy, defensive
or even judgemental)
when we talk with someone,
let's try to open up as equals,
regardless of who they are,
so that we can help them
to form a connection with Buddhism.
If we summon up our courage and talk to them
with respect and sincerity,
an inspiring drama is sure to unfold
between us!
