The Dharma Wheel

Right View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness, Meditation May we always clear our eyes so we may see clear May we always put out the best intention beginning with our mind May we speak only in a tongue free of slander and lies May we act in a way that speaks volumes of our altruism May we choose a livelihood that is in harmony with our soul May we always find it in us to create the effort to better ourselves May we always be mindful of others and how we treat them May we choose meditation as a vehicle to self exploration and healing. May we always seek the light without rebuking the darkness in us, for they are all part of one and the same in the great tapestry of action and reaction we need to accept ourselves and others just as we are. Namaste

I am a Christian who has a love for the philosophy of Buddhism, since I don't like to tag God, I feel free to appreciate all other faiths, aside from my own. The temple of my heart is big, it includes everyone, and every Faith. I do the same for friends, I choose as my heart chooses, glad we are friends Victor.

Dear Yann, we do need harmony and we need inner peace. Only when we achieve it can we share it with those who need it most.
