               Kindle the Light in our Hearts




                The value of life lies in
                making the most of our potential
                and becoming a benefactor to others.


                When we make great aspirations and vows,
                we are all Bodhisattvas.


                We purify our minds
                to kindle the light in our hearts.
                We use that light to illuminate the way
                and bring warmth to cold and lonely spirits.


                By kindling the light in each other’s hearts,
                we bring endless illumination to this world.
