Golden Chain II

Sometimes, even in a temple setting, we must remember Buddha's core and fundamental teachings. We recite "The Golden Chain II" often, but it seems to not have engrained or impacted us.

I am a link in the Buddha's golden chain of love that stretches around the world. I must keep my link bright and strong. I will try to be kind and gentle to every living thing and protect all who are weaker than myself. I will try to think pure and beautiful thoughts, to say pure and beautiful words, and to do pure and beautiful deeds, knowing that on what I do now depends not only my happiness or unhappiness, but also that of others. May every link in the Buddha's golden chain of love become bright and strong, and may we all attain perfect peace. Namo Amida Butsu.

Sometimes I wish I knew exactly what to do in order to have a better life.

“In the evenings, before I went to sleep, and in the mornings, in the moment I woke up, I realized I was praying for rain.”

— The Garden of Words (2013)

To live without being loved is a torture.

Part of the difficulty of trying to fight off depression is not knowing if things will ever end. I've been trying to get over being depressed but I don't think I can. After two years of trying I think I'm done.
