I intend to translate your verses and study them. During my practice, I usually invoke the names and qualities of [[Avalokiteshvara]], [[Tara]] and [[Maitreya]].

I have been reading about the [[Karma Kagyu]] school and the [[Karmapa]]. I find it inspiring how the Karmapa is engaged in vegetarianism and environmentalism, and the efforts of [[Shamar Rinpoche]] in the field of [[Buddhism and democracy]] seem very much aligned with my values.
May you be happy! May you be free from suffering! May you shine for the benefit of beings!
