Concluding Aspirations
From the summary of Peme Chodron’s
The Places That Scare You
May this be the direction of our hopes, our intentions, our efforts.
May the roots of suffering diminish. May warfare, violence, neglect, indifference, and addictions also decrease.
May the wisdom and compassion of all beings increase.
May we clearly see that the barriers we erect between ourselves and others are as insubstantial as our dreams.
May we appreciate the great perfection of all phenomena.
May we continue to open our hearts and minds, in order to work ceaselessly for the benefit of all beings.
May we go to the places that scare us.
May we learn to lead a life of heroic virtue.
