Veteran Volunteer Event

A short note about the veteran event -- not many veterans showed up for the event. The event did not get endorsed by the VA Hospital in Tucson which is unfortunate. However, those veterans who received the treatment felt very grateful and experienced healing and calming benefits. I am glad that we were able to do something for them!

Traditional Buddhist Blessing and Healing Chant

Today is the 1st day of 2008. I am posting this Buddhist chant to celebrate the new year with all of you out there.

Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness flow forth to awaken and heal all beings, Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.

By the power of every moment of your goodness
May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

By the power of every moment of your goodness
May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.
For all in whose heart dwells respect, who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way
May your life prosper in the four blessings of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.
