“Estamos trabalhando para ressignificar as nossas vidas e para que
todos encontrem e realizem o programa da sua alma. Trabalhamos para que
possamos cumprir nossa missão. Porque, ao realizar essa missão, nos
sentimos encaixados e ficamos em paz - nós nos realizamos. Então, nós
descobrimos que a felicidade é a causa da felicidade, ou seja, ao nos
realizarmos, criamos um círculo benigno no qual felicidade gera
felicidade.”

“We are working to give new meaning to our lives so that we all may discover and fulfill the program of our souls. We are working so that we can complete our mission. When we are able to accomplish our mission, we feel as if we belong, and we are at peace; we become self-realized. We discover that happiness breeds even more happiness. As we become self-realized, we create a healthy circle in which happiness fosters even more happiness.”

May I become an island for those seeking dry land
A lamp for those needing light,
A place to rest for those who desire one,
And a servant for those needing service.
—Shantideva, "May I Become an Island"
