Weapon

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato samma sambuddhasa

Kneeling in front of the Buddha image,

I recall the Teacher's words.

Peace and Universal Love is taught by the Enlightened One.

I forgive all beings, and may all beings forgive me.

Unto all have I amity, and unto none, enmity.

Knowing that greed, hatred, and delusion is the root cause of miseries in the world,

I vow to renounce all such unwholesomeness.

A weapon, however powerful it may be, can always be superseded by a superior one;

but no weapon can be superior to Metta/ love, Karuna/ compassion.

May I be Loving and Kind,

May I show Love and Compassion to all beings.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
