The mind can go in a thousand directions. But on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, a gentle wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms. |

In an article in The Mindfulness Bell, Brother Chan Troi Dao Bi wrote:“Only
when we are able to show love and concern for ourselves can we show
love and concern for others and build brotherhood and sisterhood… one of
my favorite lines from [the Praising the Buddha chant] is ‘May
compassion cool the flames of the world, and wisdom shine through the
clouds of confusion, revealing to all the path.’ Our love and compassion
can help cool the flames of the world. Our collective insight and
wisdom is like a torch lighting our path and revealing the path to all.”
