Foreword — Buddhism
1 We begin with compassion for all beings, seeing clearly the causes of suffering.
2 Right view blossoms into right action; wisdom into kindness.
3 Lay down the weapons of greed, hatred, and delusion.
4 Breathe, and let generosity, ethics, and patience shape each step.
5 May our practice relieve sorrow wherever it is found.
6 Come, walk the middle path that frees the heart to serve.
