Manitoba Buddhist Temple
A Buddhist temple in the Jodo Shinshu tradition
We gently caress
you, the Earth, our planet and our home.
Our vision has brought us closer to you, making us aware of
the harm we have done to the life-network upon which we
ourselves depend.
We are reminded that we have poisoned your waters, your
lands, your air.
We have filled you with the bones of our dead from war
and greed.
Your pain is our pain.
Touching you gently, we pray that we may become
peace-bringers and life-bringers so that
our home in its journey around the Sun not become
a sterile and lonely place.
May this prayer and its power last
forever.
