Impermanence
The day is now ended, our lives are shorter, now we look carefully, what have we done? Let us be diligent, let us live
deeply, free from our afflictions, aware of impermanence, so that life does not drift away without meaning.
Thich Nhat Hahn

The perfume of sandalwood, rosebay or jasmine, cannot travel against the wind. But the fragrance of virtue travels even against
the wind, as far as the ends of the world. Like garlands woven from a heap of flowers, fashion from your life as many good
deeds.

Blessing Chant
Just as water flowing in the streams and rivers fills the ocean, thus may all your moments of goodness, touch and benefit
all beings--those here now and those gone before.
May all your wishes be sooon fulfilled as completely as the moon on a full moon night. May all dangers be averted, may
all disease leave you. May no obstacles come across your way and may you enjoy happiness and long life.
May those who are always respectful, honoring the way of the elders, prosper in the four blessings of old age, beauty,
happiness and strength.

My God, my God, I pray that these things never end: The sand and the sea, the rush of the waters, the crash of the heavens,
the prayer of the heart, The sand and the sea, the rush of the waters, the crash of the heavens, the prayer of the heart.

Blessed is the Match
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame. Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the Heart,
Blessed is the Heart with Strength to stop its beating for Honor's sake; Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
