'Ordinary Mind — Sesshin, October 2024.

“May I be the medicine and the physician for the sick.

May I be an inexhaustible treasury for the destitute.

May I become food and drink in times of famine.

May I be a protector for those who have no protection, a guide for travellers, and a boat,

a bridge, and a ship for those who wish to cross over.

May I be a lamp for those who seek light”.

— Santideva, Bodhicaryavatara.
