Buddhist Prayer of the Day
Going to Sleep
Falling asleep at last
I vow with all beings
To enjoy the dark and the silence
And rest in the vast unknown.

Buddhist Quote of the Day
Subhuti, how does a person first feel a need to save beings? He becomes aware of that kind of wise insight which shows him beings as on their way the destroying themselves. Great compassion then takes hold of him. He surveys the world, and what he sees fills him with agitation. ... So such a person radiates great friendliness and compassion over all these beings and gives his attention to them, thinking, "I would like to save these beings, I would like to release them from all their sufferings." But he does not make this desire into an attachment, for even he never turns his back on full enlightenment.
