DHARMADHATU: Dalai Lama visits laogai museum

About

Mind is the forerunner of all (evil) conditions. Mind is their chief, and they are mind-made. If, with an impure mind, one speaks or acts, Then suffering follows one Even as the cart wheel follows the hoof of the ox. Mind is the forerunner of all (good) conditions. Mind is their chief, and they are mind-made. If, with a pure mind, one speaks or acts, Then happiness follows one Like a never-departing shadow. Dhammapada

PRAYER BY SHANTDEVA May the earth be wholesome everywhere, The world blessed with all prosperity. May the poor and destitute find wealth, And the stooping animals be freed. May every being ailing with disease, Find relief at once from illness. May all the sickness that afflicts the living, Be instantly and permanently healed. May those who go in dread, have no more fear, May captives be unchained and set free, And may the weak now become strong, May living beings help each other in kindness. May travelers upon the road, Find happiness no matter where they go, And may they gain, without hardship, The goals on which their hearts are set. From the songs of birds and the sighing of the trees, From shafts of light and from the sky itself, May living beings, each and every one, Perceive the constant sound of Dharma. As long as space exists, As long as beings endure, May I too, abide To dispel the misery of the world. Shantideva 7th Century Indian Buddhist scholar
