Yesterday Ruth and I joined others for a peace meditation at the Maya Devi Temple led by “Walk For Peace” monk Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara.

As Bhikkhu entered the meditation platform, he looked at Ruth and asked, “How are you?”

“May all beings be well.

May all beings be happy.

May all beings be peaceful.

May all beings be free from all suffering.”

In contrast to yesterday, this morning the pond and the meditation platform were embraced by peace and stillness.
