Pema Chödrön: May We Lead the Life of a Warrior


Throughout my life, until this very moment, whatever virtue 
I have accomplished, including any benefit that may come 
from this book, I dedicate to the welfare of all beings.

May the roots of suffering diminish. May warfare, violence, 
neglect, indifference, and addiction also decrease.

May the wisdom and compassion of all beings increase, 
now and in the future.
May we clearly see all the barriers we erect between ourselves 
and others to be as insubstantial as our dreams.

May we appreciate the great perfection of all phenomena.
May we continue to open our hearts and minds, in order to 
work ceaselessly for the benefit of all beings.

May we go to the places that scare us.

May we lead the life of a warrior.
