[Maṅgala Saying]Making Aspiration
Today, I made an aspiration in front of the Buddha, wishing everyone in this world would find inner peace and brightness.
Gradual improvement is the way of change. Causes and conditions have to be adequate in all aspects. History tells us that all causes and conditions of important matters will have to be made. A wholesome result will rely on the effort put forth in the causes one step at a time.
Hence, those who pursue the results must ensure that the present causes do not go wrong.
We should choose to use good and skilful means and never use unscrupulous means.
Who can defy the law of kamma?
Only those who protect others’ happiness could take on happiness. The same is true for wholesome teachings and wholesome results.
Let the cause and effect as well as the right view taught by the Buddha be known, believed and understood by the world.
I hope the price of awakening would not be too high and it would not be too difficult to turn back.
May every beautiful dream in the world find its solid and stable cornerstone of cause and effect.
May all noble wishes of all beings in the world be in accordance to the Dhamma and may they come true.
