If you read one of my earlier posts, you will recognize the prayer that I have reframed below. The original really resonated with me, but as I reread it, I realized I wanted it to try rewriting it in a more positive, affirmative way. See my attempt to do so below.
Buddhist Vow
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to protect life.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to be mindful of all that we have.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to see God within all.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to speak truthfully.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to lovingly take care of our body and mind.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to focus on the present.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to honor and appreciate every living thing and all that we have.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to respect all life.
Knowing how deeply our lives intertwine,
We vow to live truth as we know it.
