“This is how to contemplate our
existence in this fleeting world:

Like a star, an obscured vision,
a flickering lamp, an illusion,
a drop of dew, a bubble floating in a stream,
a dream, a flash of lightning,
or a cloud.”

~ Buddha Shakyamuni, the Diamond Sutra

May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May all beings never be parted from genuine happiness, which is free from suffering.
May all beings abide in great equanimity, free from attachment and aversion.
