MAY I BE A GUARD FOR THOSE WHO NEED PROTECTION
A GUIDE FOR THOSE ON THE PATH
A BOAT, A RAFT, A BRIDGE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO CROSS THE FLOOD
MAY I BE A LAMP IN THE DARKNESS
A RESTING PLACE FOR THE WEARY
A HEALING MEDICINE FOR ALL WHO ARE SICK
A VASE OF PLENTY, A TREE OF MIRACLES
AND FOR THE BOUNDLESS MULTITUDES OF LIVING BEINGS
MAY I BRING SUSTENANCE AND AWAKENING
ENDURING LIKE THE EARTH AND SKY
UNTIL ALL BEINGS ARE FREED FROM SORROW
AND ALL ARE AWAKENED
- SHANTIDEVA, INDIAN BUDDHIST SAGE

“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.”
- Buckminster Fuller
