Pema Chödrön: We Take the Vow to Care For One Another

 We Take the Vow to Care
For One Another
 
We make the warrior commitment — take the
vow to care for one another — then do our best to
never turn our backs on anyone.
And when we falter, we renew our commitment 
and move on, knowing that even the awakened ones
of the past understood what it felt like to relapse.
Otherwise, how could they have any idea
about what other beings go through?
Otherwise, how could they have 
cultivated patience and forgiveness, 
loving-kindness and compassion?
