Sabbapapassa akaranam,

Kusalassa upasampada,

Sacittapariyodapanam,

Etam buddhana sasanam.

Not to do bad, To do good,

To purify one's mind.

This is the teaching of the Buddhas.

  ~Dhammapada

GOLDEN CHAIN OF LOVINGKINDNESS

 

I am a link in the golden chain of lovingkindness

that encompasses the world.

I will keep my link bright and strong. 

I will try to be kind and gentle to all living things and

protect those weaker than myself.

I will try to think pure and beautiful thoughts,

say pure and beautiful words, and

do pure and beautiful deeds,

knowing that my happiness depends on what I do now.

 

May every link in the golden chain of lovingkindness

become bright and strong.

May we all attain perfect peace.
