Via Daily Dharma: How Buddhism Transforms Us
Buddhism
aims at nothing less than the complete transformation of our ordinary
and limited perception of who we are as human beings.

One - Words and Music by Carole King
Poetic phrases come to mind
Whenever I find injustice being done
And I wonder, what am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
What can one do except be one
Talking to two, touching three, growing to four million
Each of us is one
All of us are one
Open your heart and let the love come shining through
And you will do what you need to do
To know just where the other you is coming from
We are one It just amazes me that I can be
Part of the energy it takes to serve each other
And I wonder, what am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
What will we do
We’re gonna run
Reach for the sun
Come together as one
Show ‘em how it’s done
At the end of the day we’ll be able to say Love won.
