'Can You Buy Peace of Mind
From a Supermarket?'

As part of our weekly offerings to our community we thought these final wise words from the last chapter of Shantideva's 'A Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life' were a poignant opportunity for reflection...

May the blind see forms,
May the deaf hear sounds,
And just as it was with Mayadevi,
May pregnant woman give birth without pain.

May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food,
May the thirsty find water

May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy,
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.

May all who are sick and ill,
Quickly be freed from the illness,
And may every disease in the world
Never occur again.
