Like a mother who protects her child, her only child, with her own life, one should cultivate a heart of unlimited love and compassion towards all living beings. --the Buddha
I bow to the One who has no color,
I bow to the One who has no beginning.
I bow to the One who is without fault,
I bow to the One who is incomprehensible.
I bow to the One who shares everything,
I bow to the One who is eternal.
I bow to the ever Bountiful.
I bow to the Unlimited.
--from a the sacred songs of the Sikhs
The fruit of silence is prayer,
The fruit of prayer is faith,
The fruit of faith is love, and
The fruit of love is silence.
--Mother Teresa |
